Hi!
Let's learn something lebih about panda bears... so nice!

About 2,000 years ago, the geographers in China described a menanggung, bear for the first time. Peculiar with its black and white coat, they were revered as peaceful Haiwan as they fed exclusively on plants. To the Chinese, Panda are symbols of peace and friendship. To the rest of the world, they are adorable bears.


Today, there are less than one thousand adults alive in their natural habitat. Panda feed exclusively on bamboos and lead a solitary existence. Although 300 species of Bamboo are available in China, Panda eat only about 10-12 species of them. In their natural habitat, their main predators are snow leopards, and starvation when bamboo Bunga are also common occurrence.
On an average Panda spends about 14 hours a hari looking for food.
Adult Panda can eat about 25 kg of bamboo per day. Occasionally, Panda eat grass, bark, stem, leaf, vine, pokok fungus and some wild roots. Sometimes they also catch atau scavenge upon bamboo rats. Giant Panda don't hibernate in the winter. They continue to eat Bamboo and thrive in the area.
An average Panda weighs about 200 kg, with male Panda weighing lebih than the females. Captive Panda are known to live for about 25 years, but there is no information on the longevity of Panda in the wild.


The closest relative to giant Panda is the Red Panda atau lesser Panda, which occurs in India, Nepal, and China. The Red Panda is small, lives mostly on trees and eats roots, fruits, nuts and insects for food. Many scientists classify Panda as racoons rather than bears.

In saving the forests from destruction, we could save a species from verge of extinction. For the Panda, there is no other way
