Giant Panda
The World's Cutest Bear
Pandas
live mainly in temperate forests high in the mountains of southwest China, where they subsist almost entirely on
bamboo . They must eat around 26 to 84 pounds of it every day, depending on what part of the bamboo they are eating. They
use their enlarged wrist bones that function as opposable thumbs.
A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter—about
1/900th
the size of its mother—but
females can grow up to
about 200 pounds, while males can grow up to about 300 pounds
as adults. These bears are excellent tree climbers despite
their bulk.
