Did you know that Giant Pandas are endangered? In fact, there are only about 3,000 Giant Pandas that live in the world! The Giant Panda lives in mixed forests. They are located in southwest China (Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan Provinces). They fit into a class called mammalia. This type of animal, is distantly related to the raccoon and the bear. The characteristics of the mammalia are that they have hair or fur, a backbone, they are endothermic, they bear live young, produce milk, they have lungs, sweat glands, a four-chambered heart, two sets of teeth, single lower-jaw, and three bones in the middle ear.
The Giant Panda nourishes its young with milk released by the mammary glands. They can take from eighty three to one hundred thirty-five days, one hundred thirty-five is the average, to have one baby Giant Panda. The Giant Panda is a carnivore, but it eats bamboo, about twenty to thirty pounds of a day, that’s ten thousand, almost eleven, pounds a year!

Some interesting facts about a Giant Panda is that they are pigeon toed, they can eat for about sixteen hours at a time, and they can grow up to five or six feet high, adults weighing about two hundred seventy six pounds!

In the end of the thingy... add this,



One of the main reasons that Giant Pandas are endangered is because of humans. The other is because of leopards, because they tend to eat young cubs.

The Giant panda is no longer considered more than distantly related to the raccoon. They are now considered a true bear. The confusion came because it was originally thought that pandas had an opposable thumb something no true bear has. It was later discovered that this thumb is not a thumb at all but is instead an extension of one of the carpal (wrist) bones. It is also not jointed. Like all true bears pandas have all five true toes pointing forward. The 'thumb' of the panda is used to help strip the leaves off of bamboo to eat.

I see lots of PANDA INFORMATION but NO QUESTION....

You want to save the Giant Panda from extinction... stop humans from breeding and taking up PANDA HABITAT...

The endangered species of the world are endangered from one reason... and one reason only... HUMANS AND HABITAT DESTRUCTION.

Have you not heard? The debate is over; pandas are of family ursidae. They are bears.
