Fact Sheet Panda's Life

Basic Facts About Pandas

Looked upon as the ambassador for all endangered species, the giant panda is a well-recognized symbol of international wildlife conservation. Giant pandas have black fur on their ears, around their eyes (eye patches), muzzle, legs and shoulders. Good tree climbers, pandas can also swim to escape predators. Pandas use an enlarged wrist bone that looks like a thumb to grasp objects like bamboo.

Diet

Pandas eat bamboo. Since giant pandas have the digestive system of a carnivore, they do not have the ability to digest cellulose (plant matter) efficiently and thus derive little energy and little protein from consumption of bamboo. So, the average giant panda has to eat as much as 20 to 45 lbs (9-20 kg) of bamboo shoots a day. On occasion, giant pandas are also known to eat flowers, vines, tufted grasses, green corn, honey and rodents.

Population

Today, an estimated 2,000 pandas are found in the wild. By the end of 2006, there were a reported 180 pandas in captivity on mainland China and about 20 in other countries.

Range

Did You Know?
At birth, panda cubs typically weigh 4-8oz (100–200g) and measure around 6 inces (15cm) long.
Historically pandas lived in both mountainous and lowland regions of central-western and southwestern China. They are now found only in the mountains of central China, in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

Behavior

Giant pandas are found mostly in thick bamboo and coniferous forests (evergreens with seed cones) at 8,500 to 11,500 feet in elevation. They are generally solitary animals that spend most of their days feeding. However, they do communicate with each other once in a while through scent markings, calls and occasional meetings.
Unlike other bears, giant pandas do not hibernate. In the winter, they move to lower elevations to keep warm, while traveling to higher elevations in the summer to stay cool. They can be active at any time of the day or night.
Pandas do not have permanent homes but sleep at the bottom of trees under stumps and rock ledges.
Did You Know?
Pandas have evolved special features to help them eat their favorite food: strong jaws, large molars, and a "thumb" that helps them hold the bamboo while they eat!

Reproduction

Mating Season: March-May.
Gestation: 3-5 months.
Litter size: 1-2 cubs.
Cubs are born blind and helpless and if there are twins, only one cub survives. The cub's eyes open at six to eight weeks and it starts to move around at three months. Weaned at six months, the cub becomes independent after a year. They may, however, stay with their mothers for up to three years before they strike out on their own.

Giant Panda

Giant Panda
Giant pandas are black and white bears.
They live only in China.
They eat a plant called bamboo.
Giant pandas walk on all four legs and climb trees. There are not many pandas left

Appearance
They are black and white bears with round heads, small black ears and white faces. They have a black patch around each eye. They have short tails. They walk on all fours and can climb trees, often doing so to find a place to sleep.
An adult Giant Panda is about 150 centimetres long and weighs about 90 kilograms, although the biggest one ever weighed was 180 kilograms.

Distribution and Habitat (where they are found)
Giant Pandas are endemic to China, which means they are found nowhere else.
They live in bamboo forests in the mountains of western China.
The forests are very thick and the pandas are generally hidden from view, so it has been hard for scientists to learn about them. This lack of knowledge adds to the difficulty of saving the pandas.
Once they were found throughout China, but the bamboo forests in eastern China have been cut down for farming. This has made the forest areas into 'islands', making it impossible for the bears to roam widely and meet each other to mate.
Feeding
About 99% of the Giant Panda's food is bamboo, though it also eats grass, roots, plants and even meat. Bamboo is actually a type of grass that grows as tall as trees. Although there are hundreds of kinds of bamboo, the Giant Panda eats only 4 or 5 kinds. It is estimated that a Giant Panda can chew more than 3,500 stalks or leaves, or about 20-22 kg, of bamboo a day. Bamboo is not very nutritious, so the Giant Panda spends about 12-14 hours a day feeding.
The front paws of the Giant Panda are specially adapted to help it hold bamboo. There is a bone on each palm that looks a bit like a thumb. The panda's five fingers wrap around the bamboo stalk, and the 'thumb' moves forward to jam against the bamboo so that it is firmly held. The very large teeth, strong jaws and huge cheek muscles help crush the hard bamboo.


Life Cycle
Baby pandas are very small when they are born, weighing about 120 grams. This is very tiny in proportion to the size of its mother. The mother holds the new baby in a similar way to a human, cradling it in her arms. The baby panda's eyes open after about 40 days. At one month old the black markings can be seen on their pink skin. At three months old the young pandas are furry, black and white miniatures of their parents. They crawl when they are about 3-4 months old. At 7 months, a young panda weighs about 9 kilograms, runs and climbs trees, and has started eating bamboo. At about 18 months, it weighs about 55 kilograms, and will soon leave its mother.

Conservation Status
Giant Pandas are classified as Endangered because the bamboo forests are being cleared for farming. Different types of bamboo die off every 40 to 100 years and because of the clearing, there are fewer types of bamboo left. Pandas often starve when the bamboo dies off. In the past they were hunted for their fur or were trained as performing circus animals. Giant Pandas are now protected by law.
In China, research and breeding centres have been set up and are trying to breed them to increase their numbers. This is a very slow and difficult process, and so far the success is limited.

Biografi Panda

Area:  China
Habitat: 
Forests
Food: 
Bamboo, grasses, bulbs, some insects and fruit
Size: 
5 feet long
Babies: 
Cubs are born hairless and with their eyes closed.
They seem pretty quiet, but giant pandas can bleat, roar, growl, and honk.
The Bamboo Bear

For a long time, scientists weren’t sure if giant pandas were bears or perhaps more closely related to raccoons. Now we know that giant pandas are indeed members of the bear family, similar to other bears in their general looks and the way they walk and climb.

Bamboo is the most important plant in a giant panda's life. They spend at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo. Pandas grasp bamboo stalks with their five fingers and a special wristbone. They use their teeth to peel off the tough outer layers of the stalk to reveal the soft inner tissue. They also eat the leaves.

Giant pandas are only about the size of a stick of butter at birth, and they're hairless and helpless. The panda mother gives great care to her tiny cub, usually cradling it in one paw and holding it close to her chest. For several days after birth, the mother does not leave the den, not even to eat or drink!

About Panda

What is a giant panda?

A giant panda is a black and white bear. That's right the giant panda really is a bear and is classified in the bear family Ursidae. It's easy to recognize by its black and white patches. The panda's eyes, ears, legs, and shoulders are all black with the rest of its fur being white.

Although fairly big, the giant panda isn't really all that giant. It can grow up to about three feet tall and six feet long when standing on all four legs. The female pandas are generally smaller than the males.

Where do giant pandas live?

Giant pandas live in the mountains in Central China. They like dense temperate forests with lots of bamboo. Right now scientists think that around 2000 pandas live in the wild in China. Most of the pandas that live in captivity, live in China. There are around (as of the writing of this article) 27 giant pandas that live in captivity outside china. Giant pandas are currently considered critically endangered animals, meaning they could go extinct if they are not protected.

Pandas eating bamboo


What do giant pandas eat?

Giant pandas primarily eat bamboo, but they are carnivores meaning they do eat some meat. Besides bamboo, they will sometimes eat eggs, some small animals, and other plants. Since bamboo doesn't have a lot of nutrition, pandas have to eat a lot of bamboo to stay healthy. As a result, they end up spending most of the day eating. They have giant molars to help them crush the bamboo.

Is the giant panda dangerous?

Although the giant panda eats mostly bamboo and looks very cute and cuddly, it can be dangerous to humans.

How long do they live?

In zoos pandas have been reported to live as long as 35 years, but generally they live closer to 25 to 30 years. It is thought that they do not live as long in the wild.

Where can I see a giant panda?

In the United States there are currently four zoos that have giant pandas. These include the San Diego Zoo in San Diego, CA; the National Zoo in Washington DC; Zoo Atlanta in Atlanta, GA; and the Memphis Zoo in Memphis, TN.

Other zoos with Pandas throughout the world include Zoo Aquarium in Spain, Zoologischer Garten Berlin, Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico, and Ocean Park in Hong Kong.

Love Story Lyrics - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you  
I close my eyes  
And the flashback starts  
I'm standing there  
On a balcony in summer air
 
See the lights See the party, the ball gowns  

I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, 
little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles 

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet  
And I was crying on the staircase  
Begging you please don't go, and I said
 
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone 

 I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run  
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess 
It's a love story baby just say yes
 
So I sneak out to the garden to see you  

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew  
So close your eyes 
Escape this town for a little while
 
'Cause you were Romeo, 

I was a scarlet letter  
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet  
But you were everything to me
  I was begging you please don't go and I said
 
Romeo take me somewhere 

we can be alone  
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run  
You'll be the prince 
and I'll be the princess  
It's a love story baby just say yes
 
Romeo save me, 

they try to tell me how to feel 
This love is difficult, but it's real  
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
 It's a love story baby just say yes Oh oh
 
I got tired of waiting Wondering

 if you were ever coming around  
My faith in you is fading  
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
 
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone 

 I keep waiting for you but you never come  
Is this in my head? 
I don't know what to think  
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet 

You'll never have to be alone I
 love you and that's all I really know I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
