The Giant Panda lives in the mountain ranges of China.There are few Pandas left so they are in the endangered species list. Only 1950 wild Pandas are left because people destruct the forests where Pandas live.
An adult Panda measures 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters hight. Male Pandas weigh up to 160 kg, females only weigh from 75 to 125 kg. When Pandas are born they weighs only 100 to 200 grams. Babies stay with their mother till they are 2 years old.
In the wild Pandas live up to 20 years old but in zoos Pandas live up to 30 years old. The record is Ming Ming : when she died she was 34 years old.
Pandas eat mostly bamboo but can eat small quantities of meat and eggs. Pandas are classified as carnivorous animals. Pandas can eat up to 40 meals a day.
Now you know why we should protect Pandas.
