Unlike other types of bears, pandas are solitary in nature and only interact with each other during the mating season.
Once a year, usually during the spring between March and May, male and female pandas come together to mate. After mating, the male will leave the female and she will be responsible for raising the young.
Pandas give birth to one or two cubs every two to three years, and the cubs will stay with their mother for about 18 months. During this time, the mother will teach her cubs how to survive in the wild, including how to find food and avoid predators.
After the cubs are old enough to fend for themselves, they will leave their mother and find their own territory to live in. Giant pandas are known to have large territories, and they may travel up to several kilometers each day in search of food.
