Family Life

The red panda mating season falls between mid-January and early March. Scent marking increases during this time, and both sexes may mate with multiple partners.
The gestation period is between 112 and 158 days. In the summer (between June to July), the female uses leaves, grass and other vegetation to build a nest inside a hollow tree or a rock crevice. Here she will give birth to a litter of 1 to 4 young. The cubs weigh around 110 to 130 g (3.9 to 4.6 oz.).
At around 3 months of age, the young develop their adult coloration. At this time they start to spend time outside the nest and to eat solid food. The cubs are weaned at around 8 months, but remain with their mother until her next litter is born.
