Best Answer

The threat to giant pandas is mainly loss of habitat. Wild animals need land that has not been converted to human purposes such as housing, agriculture, etc. Pandas in particular need bamboo forests, and people have found other uses for that land in China, which is a very crowded, overpopulated country.

Are zebras better than pandas?

If we contrast horses with Giant Pandas the examination reveals that Giant Pandas are much better at eating bamboo than are horses. Horses are better at running than Giant Pandas. Horses are better for petting than a Giant Panda because they have been domesticated. Pandas are better than horses for consistency of color and pattern. Horses are better than Pandas because they come in a LOT more colors. Horses are better than Pandas because there are more of them.Pandas are better than horses because they are rare and that makes them unique. Both animals are better in their own way. More specific criteria would make a determination of which was "better" would be helpful.

If you are referring to their favorite food, it would be bamboo. Bamboo makes up 99% of a giant pandas diet. If you mean activity, pandas don't engage in recreational activities or play, and aren't social. As is the case with most if not all mammals, I'd say a mother panda's favorite thing in the world are her cubs.

When any why are the numbers of pandas starting to decline?

Panda numbers are declining primarily because of loss of habitat and their food source. Pandas feed almost exclusively on bamboo: however, humans have degraded their habitat where the bamboo grows, and the population has gradually shrunk to a fairly small region of China.
