Yao Man, contrary to what the name says, is a female giant panda. She was born on Sept. 27th, 2009 at Bifengxia, to Lu Lu and Guo Guo. She currently resides at the breeding center in Bifengxia, where she looks after her two cubs- 1 female and 1 male. They were born on Aug. 18th, 2015 and weighed in at 133.5 and 118 grams, respectively. PDXWildlife has a particular fondness with Yao Man because she is the subject of two of our research projects on maternal care and stereotypic behavior. In general, she is a quiet bear that loves to eat, sleep, and care for her little ones. Let us know if you enjoyed the short video and photos- Thanks for visiting.
