           In the wild pandas have few natural predators except for humans. Young pandas can be susceptible to leopard attacks. At 2.5 years a panda weighs about 50 lbs it will probably be immune to most natural predation. Wild pandas have been known to live until age 14. Lifespan in captivity rarely exceeds 30 years.
