1. Giant pandas live in thick bamboo forests in the mountains of central China and feed almost entirely on bamboo, eating 12-38 kg per day. 2. While bamboo provides little nutrition, pandas must eat large amounts to meet their energy needs. They will occasionally consume other plants and small animals. 3. Pandas breathe using their lungs and are vocal during mating season between March and May. Females give birth about 95-160 days after mating and cubs are born blind.

5. Pandas reproduce through mating
in a process that is similar to other
mammals; the mating season is
between March and May, when
the female has a two- or three-day
period of estrus. At that time, the
male mounts the female panda,
copulating for a period of time
between 30 seconds and five
minutes. Gestation then lasts
between 95 and 160 days.

black fur around their eyes and on their ears, muzzle, legs
and shoulders. Their thick, wooly coat helps to keep them
warm in their cool mountain homes.
Adult pandas are about 150cm from nose to rump, with a 10-
15cm tail. And they can grow up to 90cm tall at the shoulder.
An adult panda can weigh up to 150kg, with males 10% larger

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICSPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

7. 1. Giant pandas (often referred to as simply 'pandas') are black and white bears.
In the wild, they are found in thick bamboo forests, high up in the mountains of
central China
2. These magnificent mammals are omnivores. But whilst they will occasionally
eat small animals and fish, bamboo counts for 99 percent of their diet.
3. These guys are BIG eaters - every day they fill their tummies for up to 12
hours, shifting up to 12 kilograms of bamboo!
4. Giant pandas grow to between 1.2m and 1.5m, and weigh
between 75kg and 135kg. Scientists aren’t sure how long pandas live in the wild,
but in captivity they live to be around 30 years old.
5. Baby pandas are born pink and measure about 15cm - that's about the size of
a pencil! They are also born blind and only open their eyes six to eight weeks
after birth.
