They eat 99% of bamboos. Also they are omnivores. This means they eat plants and meat. Most panda’s habitats are in the wild. They are found in thick bamboo forests, high up in the mountains of central China.
The pandas size is between 1.2m and 1.5m. They weigh between 75kg and 135kg.
Female pandas give birth to one or two cubs every two years. Cubs stay with their mothers for 18 months before venturing off on their own. Baby pandas are born pink and measure about 15cm. They are also born blind and only open their eyes six to eight weeks after birth.
Sadly these beautiful bears are endangered, and it’s estimated that only around 1,000 remain in the wild. That’s why we need to do all we can to protect them.
