About This Camera

This camera streams from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province, China, the world's foremost facility for giant panda conservation and research. The feed shows pandas in their lush, naturalistic enclosures, surrounded by bamboo groves, climbing structures, and shallow pools.

Giant pandas spend most of their day eating, consuming up to 38 kilograms of bamboo daily to sustain their large bodies. The camera captures their endearing feeding posture, sitting upright and methodically stripping leaves from bamboo stalks with their pseudo-thumbs. Between meals, they nap draped over logs and rocks in seemingly impossible positions.

The younger pandas provide the most entertaining viewing. Cubs tumble and wrestle with each other, slide down slopes, and explore their surroundings with clumsy enthusiasm. Keepers sometimes interact with the pandas during feeding times, and nursery cameras may show tiny pink newborns being carefully tended by staff.

Location Facts

The Chengdu Panda Base was founded in 1987 with six rescued giant pandas and has since bred over 300 cubs. Giant pandas are no longer classified as endangered, having been downgraded to vulnerable in 2016, partly due to breeding programs like Chengdu's. An adult giant panda weighs between 220 and 330 pounds and spends 10 to 16 hours per day eating. There are approximately 1,860 giant pandas remaining in the wild, all in central China. The panda's distinctive black-and-white coloring helps with camouflage in their natural snowy, rocky habitat.

Best Time to Watch

Pandas are most active during morning feeding between 8 AM and 10 AM China Standard Time, when keepers distribute fresh bamboo and enrichment items. A second active period occurs during the afternoon feeding around 2 PM to 4 PM. Cubs are most playful in the cooler morning hours. Summer heat makes pandas especially lethargic, while autumn and winter bring more activity.
