Panda

When it  comes to cute and cuddly nothing beats The Panda, also known as The Giant Panda they are an endangered species with approximately 1600 to 3000 Pandas (hard for scientists to determine due to the Panda’s remote habitats) in the wild and 300 in zoos. Wild Panda’s almost exclusively residing in remote mountainous and snowy regions in China’s Sichuan province. The wild Panda’s diet consists primarily of Bamboo, however Panda’s also eat sugar cane, small insects, and other vegetables. Panda’s fulfil most of their water needs through the moisture of the bamboo which they consume.

A male adult Panda can reach up to 6 feet in height and weigh up to 250-300 pounds, cubs are between 3-5 Pounds at birth, and are born without hair (they are pink), and blind, as such they require significant attention from their mother. Panda’s importance in pop culture has significantly increased since the release of the movie ‘The Kung Fu Panda’. This has had a positive impact upon conservation of the Panda, so please help save the ever so cute and cuddly panda.
