With summer approaching and the weather expected to get warmer, you may notice pandas starting to spend more time in their indoor sleeping areas. Pandas live in the high-temperature forests of the mountains of China, and these sunbathing areas are temperature-controlled at a cool 65°C year-round. As a member of the Panda Care team, I also appreciate the temperature inside the Giant Panda building. So if you don’t see pandas in their outdoor habitat, be sure to look in the dayroom. The day room was also recently upgraded with an all-new climbing structure that the bears really enjoy. Please check it!
