Growing pandas

In 2005, scientists from the National Reserve Vologne in China for the sake of the experiment set free young male panda, but he soon died, most likely as a result of a fight with wild pandas. It was then director Zhang Hemin Reserve, who was nicknamed Papa Panda and his team realized that animals born in captivity do not really know how to be pandas. Then it was decided to remake the entire program from scratch. Chinese experts have decided that the best way to raise pandas suitable for life in the wild - is to erase all traces of human presence from their world and allow mothers to raise their offspring alone.
