BEIJING: Scientists in China may use a police dog to teach pandas to fight

after the first artificially bred panda released into the wild was

apparently killed after a battle with other animals.

 

The Wolong giant panda breeding centre plans to have four pandas raised in

captivity, live with a specially trained police dog or other animals, the

Chengdu Daily quoted reserve officials as saying.

 

The pandas would learn how to protect themselves by observing the dog,

increasing their chances of survival when they are eventually released into

the mountainous wilds of the far western province of Sichuan.
