Panda

The Panda is a species of bear that is found in the mountains of central and western China.
One of the most famous and easily identifiable animals in the world, the Panda is also
considered as one of the rarest animal and is under immense threat in its natural environment,
primarily from habitat loss. Here is a description about the Panda.

The Panda is a medium to large sized bear that like other species has a large head, short tail
and a long muzzle with a large nose, which gives them an excellent sense of smell. The thick
fur of the Panda is creamy-white in color with large patches of black on the limbs, shoulders,
ears and nose, and distinctive black patches around their small eyes.

The Panda eats almost only bamboo and so has a number of physical adaptations to help with
its consumption including an extension of their wrist bone which acts a bit like a thumb,
allowing the Panda to grip onto bamboo stems. They also have large jaws with strong jaw
muscles that along with their flat molars, allow the Panda to crush bamboo stems and leaves
in order to extract the nutrients.

The Giant Panda is a solitary animal that occupies a territory marked with secretions from
scent glands and scratch marks on trees. Male Giant Pandas roam home ranges more than
double the size of a female's, with his territory overlapping those of several female Giant
Pandas with which he holds breeding rights. Giant Pandas breed between March and May.
After a gestation period that lasts for around five months, the female Giant Panda gives birth
to one or two cubs in the base of a hollow tree or cave. Panda Bear cubs are very
underdeveloped at birth measuring as little as 15cm and weighing only 100g.

Due to the large size and unique habitat of the Panda, adults have no natural predators within
their cool, bamboo-filled world. Humans however are the biggest threat to Pandas in the
Chinese mountains as they have hunted these remarkable animals for their unique fur.
Although harsh punishments for poaching have now slowed hunting down, Pandas are under
extreme threat from habitat loss in the form of deforestation for agricultures and residences.

Today, the Giant Panda is listed by the IUCN as being an animal species that is endangered in
its natural environment and faces extinction in wild in the near future if more is not done to
protect it. Although the Chinese government has created 33 Giant Panda reserves and more
than 50% of its natural habitat is now protected by law, less than 1,500 individuals are
thought to remain in the wild. . Extensive research continues to go into preventing the Giant
Panda from becoming extinct but it simply cannot survive without its unique bamboo forests.
