Giant Pandas
One of the most rarest animals in the wild. The Giant Panda, unless threatened is not harmful. This huge creature is treasured in China as it is the native animal of that country.
Appearance
This animal has black and white fur all over it. By their shape and size did you know they are a part of the bear family? While standing on their legs their height is around 2 to 3 feet at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 250 pounds and are more heavy than female pandas.
Diet
The Giant Panda is an omnivore which means that it eats meat as well as plants. Did you know that they can eat up 12 - 38kgs a day? You may not know this but they can eat around 20 different types of bamboo.
Habitat
These furry Pandas are located in the tall bamboo forests in China. Some of them were born in zoos. Zookeepers train them and when they are old enough they can go in the wild.
Threats
Sadly some of it’s home is being destroyed to make more buildings and make objects out of bamboo. Some other animals find them as their prey and eat them. These Pandas are trained to escape predators if they were brought up in zoos.
Conclusion
We need to help to increase the number of the Giant Panda and not destroy their habitat. Over the past decade giant pandas numbers has risen 17 percent. Their food is in their habitat so they can eat and they will starve. They are already endangered so please stop.
