I dunno, I'd say go wander around where they live but you probably shouldn't go bushwhacking through a panda preserve
Aren't pandas like super-aggressive if you're even so much as in their territory, never mind being perceived as a threat to the cubs? Or am I confusing my ursine subspecies again
Males in breeding season, yes, but in general giant pandas are solitary and peaceful animals, which will usually avoid confrontation
Normally wild pandas will flee if they catch your scent, most attacks on humans by pandas have been those in captivity. Ones raised as cubs by humans are actually difficult to release back into the wild because they no longer fear humans.
Pandas have a 0% fatality rate when it comes to humans. If they were super aggressive and territorial, the peasants expanding into the lowlands of Sichuan would have surely had at least 1 person mauled to death.
TIL; thanks for the clarification!
Yes, they are.
In the woods.
