Relationship of field metabolic rates (FMR) of giant pandas measured with DLW to mass (a) and ambient temperature (b). We did the experiments at Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China (PB), at the Panda Valley facility of Panda Base in Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province, China (PV) and at the Daxiangling Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, China (DXL). Elevated FMR of two pandas at DXL occurred at low ambient temperature as seen in 2b.
