Panda
The black and white giant panda lives mainly in the bamboo
forest areas that make up the border between China and Tibet.
Extremely rare, the giant panda became an endangered species
in the late 1930's and is now protected by the Chinese government.
Although it looks like a bear, the giant panda is more closely
related to the racoon family. When eating its main food, bamboo
shoots, the giant panda uses its front paws almost like hands.
It must eat approximately 10 hours a day just to survive.
An adult giant panda may grow to be 6 feet long and weigh up to
300 pounds. Generally shy and even tempered, a giant panda may
become bad-tempered in its old age.
