Giant Panda
A few facts about the Panda
Pandas are peaceful creatures and are adored by the world and considered a national treasure in China.
The panda holds a special significance to WWF because it has been their logo since the beginning.
Pandas live in bamboo forests in the mountains of western China and live almost entirely on bamboo.
They must eat from 26 to 84 pounds of it every day. A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter
but can grow to up to 330 pounds as an adult. Panda bears are excellent tree climbers even though they weigh a lot.
Why are these Panda's endangered?
Habitat Loss!
- Roads and railroads are increasingly fragmenting the forest, which isolates panda populations and prevents mating.
- Forest destruction also reduces pandas access to the bamboo they need to survive.
