Where will Adelaide Zoo source the large quantities of bamboo required to feed two adult Giant panda?
Adelaide Zoo has an extensive 14 hectare browse plantation at Bolivar, 20 minutes drive from Adelaide Zoo, that will be used to grow up to five species of bamboo in addition to browse for our extensive animal collection. Bamboo grows exceptionally well in Adelaide, with our cold wet winters and warm summers suiting the growing conditions of many species. While the plantation matures, we have sourced supplementary bamboo locations around Adelaide.
