How long is the gestation period of a panda?

Frequently Asked Questions about Giant Pandas - National Zoo...
Panda gestation length ranges from three to five months, or 90 to 160 days, with an average pregnancy lasting 135 days. This two-month variation in gestation occurs because the fertilized panda egg usually floats free in the mother's uterus before it implants and begins developing. Once the embryo is attached to the uterine wall, its development continues until a panda is born; newborn pandas are blind, very small and without almost any fur. A newborn panda is about three to five ounces.

The normal length of time it takes for a pregnancy is 59-65 days, with 63 days being the average. Dogs have an interesting way for predicting when they will deliver that no other species has. We suggest checking rectal temperatures on a pregnant dog 1 week before she is due to deliver. When the temperature drops to 99.0 or below, she should deliver within 12-24 hours. If she doesn't, then she should be examined by a veterinarian. Cats do not have this predictability.
