Giant Pandas
Native to Central China, Pandas live in the mountainous regions, like Sichuan and Tibet there. Taxonomically a carnivore, the Panda actually lives almost entirely on bamboo, but, like most animals, pandas have been known to eat eggs, and consume insects with their diet of bamboo. If you're interested in pandas, whether it's to learn more by asking questions, or to share your knowledge by answering them, this is the category for you.

What can humans do to protect themselves from a blizzard?
Most animals that would go outside in a winter climate are able to tolerate even bitter cold and snow for a short period. Try to avoid getting their fur soaking wet, as water wicks away body heat and renders fur's natural insulating properties useless.
Dry your pets off as soon as you return indoors, and provide access to a source of heat, should you -- or they -- feel that they require it.
What are the main threats to a pandas survival?

To how many babies can the female giant panda give birth?
Giant Pandas rarely have more than one cub at a time. If they do give birth to two, they will focus on the stronger cub to care for because they generally only produce enough milk to raise one at a time.
Usually they have one baby at a time but Giant pandas give birth to twins in about half of pregnancies. If twins are born, usually only one survives in the wild. The mother generally chooses the stronger one and neglects the younger until it dies.
because they're really, really, really rare.
And because they are part of nature and if they were not important God wouldn't have created them!!!!

because the bamboo is being cut down and it is there food that and people are puting houses where they live and leaveing the bamboo but scaring them away.
The average adult Giant Panda doesn't have to worry about many predators, they are good climbers, and excellent swimmers, with very sensitive hearing even at long distances. These abilities combined with their size give them good advantages, and most only worry about the occasional leopard attack. The mother Giant Panda would be on the alert for any sounds, and extra cautious, due to the helpless nature of her cub. The cubs, or young have more to fear from wild dogs and leopards both, but there are cases of the Mother Giant Panda using size, and intimidation to shield their young from attack. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
