also, they get let out into the wild

but die because they dont know how to gather their own food, etc

what does human imprinting mean?

When an animal is born, the first thing that is alive that it see's it thinks is it's mum. So if the first thing that a baby panda is with is a human, then it thinks that it is a baby human. That is a kinda poor explanation of what imprinting is.

thanks...does that mean it will not mate with other pandas?

sometimes yes, sometimes no

it means that the panda will follow the human, and act like a human (as well as it can)

also, when the zookeeper leaves the cage, the panda will become depressed, because its mommy left

that is sad...they should find them all new panda mommies
