Isn’t it too hot in South Australia for Giant pandas?
Although South Australia is warmer than Wolong, Giant pandas are an adaptable species and they will acclimatize very quickly to our conditions. Adelaide Zoo will ensure that the exhibit design provides features to eliminate any discomfort caused by warm weather. The South Australian climate is similar to that experienced by San Diego Zoo, where they have successfully bred and managed Giant pandas for many years. Adelaide Zoo will study a majority of the international Giant panda centres to help us design our facilities and management plan.
