Panda 101 ∣ Giant Pandas' Favorite Season

Is summer your favorite season? With sweet watermelon and fun in the water, what's not to love? But have you ever wondered what season pandas prefer?

Surprisingly, giant pandas prefer cooler weather. Their skin is about 5 mm thick on average, with the thickest areas reaching up to 10 mm. They also have fewer sweat glands, making it hard for them to lose body heat. Because of this, these fluffy creatures thrive in temperatures between -10℃ and 20℃, and they start feeling uncomfortable when it gets above 25℃. In the wild, pandas migrate to higher altitudes to escape the summer heat. In captivity, the temperature of their dwelling and activity areas is usually kept below 25℃.
