Abstract: In order to test whether moving female giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)and their infants impairs the mothers’nursing behavior and causes them to reject their pups. We observed two mother pandas’behavioral changes during translocating of enclosures for the first time. Our results showed that removing and returning cubs did not cause significant increases in vigilance or stereotypic behavior in the two lactating females. The female pandas slso did not show significant changes in nursing behavior before their cubs were removed and after they were returned to the females in the delivery pens. The lactating pandas also did not show remarkable changes in nursing behavior after they were moved to the new pens. Both the infants survived to adulthood. The data suggest that it is possible and safe to translocate lactating female giant pandas from their delivery pens to new pens,around 30 days after they give birth,provided that they first experiencesystematic odor exposure and behavioral training during adaptation sessions.
