Are pandas clever

Answer 1

They are sort of smart. Not as smart as chimpanzees, but I guess they are intelligent. They have changed their diet to adapt to being restricted to mountains, if you count that as support enough. They can adapt to changes very well, which makes them smart.

However, pandas don't seem to want to mate with each other, which makes meetings with the opposite sex during the 3 days a year she's actually ovulating that much more tense. When a panda has cubs, there's about a 45% chance that twins will be born, however a panda has never shown the capability of caring for two young simultaneously-as a result, one of the young will invariably be neglected and die. On top of that, there's a chance the female won't recognize her young crying for attention after she gives birth, and may kill it. They're not physiologically capable of completely digesting plant matter, and as such the bamboo they eat (already low in nutrition) is only processed up to 20% in their bodies. To put this into perspective, they have to eat 30 pounds of it in a day, which takes 9 hours. Think about that; every day the average 250 pound panda will spend 9 hours eating 12% of its weight in bamboo (while in a forest full of other things to eat), which would be like a human who weighs 180 pounds eating 22 pounds of celery each day despite having access to a farmer's market down the street. They're better designed to be omnivores, like most other bears, but simply eat bamboo for 9 hours each day. Then they sleep. They avoid inclines, or anything truly strenuous, and as a result tend to grow overweight even in the wild. The giant panda is so ignorant of its capability to digest other food that it is officially the most expensive animal to keep in a zoo, actually beating out the African elephant by 5 times in the cost of its diet. I don't believe that pandas are smarter than the average bear (which is actually fairly intelligent).

Answer 2

All reasonably intelligent animals, bears included, are trainable. It is in the best interest of the animal and their species to leave their natural behavior natural, especially if they are endangered. If we ever manage to re-establish a wild population of Pandas, they will need to know their natural behavior if we want them to survive.

if you want them to be trainable

Answer 3

Yes pandas ARE intelligent but humans are MORE intelligent then pandas,but when u compare it with an ant or bug or anything small that fly's around randomly.

Answer 4

Quite.

Answer 5

yep
