can you ever get a baby panda as a pet or a baby monkey ?
GLOBIO Traveling Teacher says:
Hi Riley,
No, all pandas, including babies, are endangered species - very rare - and owned by the Chinese government. Even those pandas seen in zoos around the world are still the official property of China. Also, they would be very difficult to care for because they need to feed on a special kind of bamboo that grows in the mountains of China.
Sometimes you see people with monkeys as pets, but this is not a good idea.
They are cute, especially babies, but when they grow older they need to be wild. Wild animals always are happier and do best when living in the wilderness where they come from.
Thanks for the great question,
