A few useful Facts

• Males are slightly larger than the females
• They have scent glands positioned under the tail
• They weigh 165 353 pounds
• They have a brilliant sense of smell

More small facts

• Pandas have pads on their front paws but not
  their back ones so that they can grip bamboo
  easily
• A Panda has very poor vision. Like many nocturnal
  creatures the eyes are just a vertical slit

What do Pandas eat?

• A wild giant pandas diet is almost 99 bamboo.
  The balance consists of other grasses and
  occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns. In
  zoos, giant pandas eat bamboo, sugar cane, rice,
  gruel, a special high-fibre biscuit, carrots,
  apples,and sweet potatoes.

COOL!!!

• There are many different species of Panda,
  including a red brown and white one!
• People hunt for Panda skin and bones for
  medicines and rugs. This is illegal and you can
  get a life sentence in prison if you are caught
  selling or poaching these beautiful creatures.
  After all, there are only about 1,000 left in the
  wild

Where do they live?

•  
• Wild giant pandas are found only in southwestern
  China.
• Giant pandas inhabit damp, misty forests of
  bamboo and conifers. Their preferred habitat has
  dense stands of at least one species of bamboo
  (preferably more).

What I think

• Pandas are beautiful animals. They are endangered
  and some Scientists estimate that they will be
  extinct in the next 15 years.

The Red Panda

• The red panda is a smaller relative of the well
  known giant panda. The wah is slightly larger
  than a large housecat, has rusty red fur, a long
  light and dark striped tail, a short white nose,
  and dark tear tracks. Red pandas are called by
  many names. Some of these are lesser panda,
  hun-ho, wah, and red cat bear.

Save the Pandas Now!

• Joining a fund like the WWF can save a great
  species like the Panda. For 3 a month you can
  save all sorts of animals, but Pandas are the
  main one. The money will pay for equipment to rid
  the world of Panda poaching.
