Because of their low-energy diet they avoid stressful situations and exertion, preferring shallow slopes and solitary living. They use scent markers to avoid one another.Giant pandas don’t roar like other bears, but bleat like goats, or honk, growl and bark to communicate. Cubs whine and croak for attention. Males generally live apart, except for in the short breeding season (March to May), when they compete for female attention. Females raise the cubs alone.
