Under the international giant panda cooperation agreement, pandas born outside China should be sent back to their native land when they are between 2 and 4 years old, before reaching sexual maturity, which typically occurs between the ages of 4 and 6. This measure aims to ensure that they have the best possible environment in China, their natural habitat, where they can thrive and potentially contribute to the birth of future panda cubs.<ref>[https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202307/25/WS64bf1f6ca31035260b8184be.html Home set for French-born panda] China Daily</ref> | Under the international giant panda cooperation agreement, pandas born outside China should be sent back to their native land when they are between 2 and 4 years old, before reaching sexual maturity, which typically occurs between the ages of 4 and 6.

North Korea has received more pandas than any other country, starting with one from Mao Zedong in 1965. However, by 2016, the pandas disappeared from Pyongyang's zoo. Possible reasons include North Korea's resource shortages, high costs of panda care, and poor conditions at the zoo. The pandas might have died of old age or faced mistreatment. It's uncertain if North Korea still has pandas.<ref>[https://www.nknews.org/2023/08/a-mystery-in-black-and-white-the-curious-case-of-north-koreas-missing-pandas/ A mystery in black and white: The curious case of North Korea’s missing pandas] NK News</ref> | |||
