I don't know the source of the above person's information, but 750 is far more accurate.

The zoo in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA has bred nearly 100 baby red pandas in recent years and currently has 10 red pandas. In 2008, there are about 750 in captivity at more than 250 breeding sites worldwide. No reliable numbers exist on how many are left in in the wild. Loss of habitat in Nepal is a major threat to the remaining wild population. Although killing of red panda is illegal world wide, they remain popular as good luck charms when made into hats for Chinese bridegrooms. The demand for their pelts in China encourages significant poaching of the remaining wild populations of red pandas.

The captive breeding program for red pandas has been much more successful than for giant pandas (black and white ones). This is due in no small part to the Chinese government's use of the giant pandas to make money by charging huge annual fees for the animals, which means that that only a few zoos in very large cities can afford to study the breeding of the animals.

Answer 3

Nobody can really tell if a panda is happy in its zoo habitat, but pandas are rare in zoos, so only the best of them get the oppurtunity to have them. So, you can safely assume that most pandas are very happy with their habitat in captivity considering that they live longer, don't have to defend themselves against poachers, don't have to forage for their own food, and don't have to fight over territory. Plus, zoos just want to make these pandas happy. After all, they are endangered!
