The average lifespan of a giant panda in the wild is 15-20 years, and the longest lifespan of a giant panda in captivity has been recorded at more than 30 years, with one year of panda life being equivalent to about three years of human life. Female pandas come into heat once a year, usually in the spring when everything is revived, and each time it takes about 2-3 days, while it takes about 3 months before it can be ascertained whether a female panda has conceived or not, and the gestation period of giant pandas is 3-5 months.
