- Female pandas are in heat for only 72 hours a year, and they will mate with as many males as possible within this period.

- Pandas rely on spatial memory, not visual memory.

- A panda's paw has six digits -- five fingers and an opposable pseudo-thumb (actually an enlarged wrist bone) it uses merely to hold bamboo while eating.

- The WWF logo was inspired by Chi-Chi, a giant panda brought to the London Zoo in 1961, when WWF was being created. Says Sir Peter Scott, one of those founders and the man who sketched the first logo: "We wanted an animal that is beautiful, is endangered and one loved by many people in the world for its appealing qualities. We also wanted an animal that had an impact in black and white to save money on printing costs."

- Female pandas ovulate once a year and are fertile for only two or three days.

- Of all the members of the bear family, only sloth bears have longer tails than pandas.

- The giant panda's genome was sequenced in 2009, according to the journal Nature.

- A newborn panda cub is 1/900th the size of its mother and is comparable to the length of a stick of butter.

- Historically speaking, pandas are one of the few animals whose parts have not been used in traditional Chinese medicine.

- The first panda came to the United States in 1936 -- a cub to a zoo in Chicago. It took another 50 years before the States would see another.

- Approximately 99 percent of a panda's diet -- bamboo leaves and shoots -- is void of much nutritional value. Its carnivore-adapted digestive system cannot digest cellulose well, thus it lives a low-energy, sedentary lifestyle but persists in eating some 60 species of bamboo. Pandas must eat upwards of 30 pounds of bamboo daily just to stay full.

What the panda eat?

Pandas eat like we do. They eat their greens and some times they eat meat. Their favourate food is bamboo. Bamboo often grow in China and pandas live in China, deep in the forests, jungles and woods. Most of the time pandas can find bamboo easily but since the big freeze in 2009/2010 it was hard for the pandas to find it. So that is what pandas eat. :)
