      "Although the pandas will eat many different kinds of plants, 99% of their diet consists of bamboo leaves, stems, and shoots."
  • Over fifteen different kinds of bamboo grow within the region. Pandas can be very picky eaters. Pandas need a great deal of food to keep alive. They must eat great amounts of bamboo every day in order to get enough nutrition to survive. Every day they eat for 12 to 16 hours. Pandas will eat 10 to 18 kilograms ( 22 to 40 pounds) of bamboo leaves and stems each day. When consuming fresh bamboo shoots, their necessary intake rises to approximately 38 kilograms (84 pounds) every day. Occasionally, they catch and eat a small bird or mammal.

      "Half of their already diminished natural habitat will become unlivable in 70 years because of climate change."
  • With fewer than 1,600 panda bears left, zoologists are working to improve panda-breeding in captivity so that these adorable black and white bears will not become extinct

      Since there are only 1,600 panda bears left, our zooligists are trying so hard to improve panda-breeding so these pour animals will not go extinct.

      "Male panda bears on average measure between between 5 feet and 6 feet long (nose to end of tail) and weigh between 175 and 275 pounds."
  • They have been known to weigh up to 350 pounds. Females are about 20 percent smaller than males. Giant pandas have a very heavy fur coat consisting of a long coarse outer layer and an under layer which is dense and wooly. Like polar bears, their fur is very oily to repel water and protect them from the cool damp climate. Their torso and disproportionately large head are both white. They have black rounded ears, black eye patches, a black band across their shoulders, and black legs. Their front paws have extended wrist bones (radial sesamoids) which are flexible and can be used like a thumbs. This allows the bears to more skillfully handle their food such as bamboo stems

      Female panda bears are known to way 20% smaller than the 350 pound male panda bear. Like polar bears, panda bears are known to have a heavy fur coat that is very oily to repel water and protect them from the cool damp climate. The colors on their body consist of Black and White. Their front palms are flexible like thumbs. This advantage helps them eat their bamboo and other food.
