Giant pandas live only in the bamboo forests of China. Some people wanted more land for farming so began destroying the bamboo forest, forcing the few pandas to seek refuge higher and higher in the mountains. During winter the pandas move to lower altitudes in the forests where it is warmer but those lands were quickly disappearing. The giant panda was losing its habitat and had no place to go.

Giant Pandas eat bamboo during winter and any other season.
Pandas move to lower, warmer elevations in the winter, rather then hibernating. Bamboo does not die during during the winter. They cannot get much energy from bamboo, so they do not have enough fat to hibernate.
During the winter, giant pandas primarily continue to eat bamboo, which makes up about 99% of their diet. While bamboo is less abundant in certain regions during the colder months, pandas adapt by moving to lower elevations where more bamboo species are available. They may also consume other plant materials, such as fruits and vegetables, if available. Despite the winter chill, their preference for bamboo remains consistent throughout the year.
Red pandas are territorial and solitary nocturnal mammals. They only interact to mate during an approximately two month period in the winter.
