My favorite animal: the Giant Panda

Size: 1,6 to 1,9 m
Weight: 70 to 125kg


The Giant Panda has black and white fur with black ears. Also, its spots on the eyes, nose and shoulders are black.
Giant Pandas live in a very small zone of mild forest in China. Their diet consists of 99% bamboo; however, Pandas eat also dead animals, eggs and larvae. In spring, they eat the buds of bamboo; in summer, they eat the leaves; and in winter they eat the stalk of bamboos.


Pandas live alone most of time in caves on the rock or in tree holes. They have huge territories that often overlap between them; but, they don’t like fights.

When females Panda are ready to couple males fight among them for them. The young born only 45 days after the couple. They are only 15cm and weight 100g. Panda’s young born without any hair.
