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.

Pandas are only found in the undisturbed mountain forests of some parts of central China. They do not tolerate humans well, and are most at home in the bamboo forests which provide 99% of their diet. Rather than hibernating as the weather gets cold, they move up and down in elevation to remain comfortable.
Every species on this planet are all just as important. theres only 1,600 pandas left and 200 of them are suffering in the wild right this very moment. We humans ruined their habitat and are the ones causing them to suffer. We made this mess, now we need to clean it up. People are having to keep them in captivity they are endangered that badly. Just think.... would we let the human race die out?
They drink their mother's milk until they are about 6 months to a year, then they are weaned from their mother's milk and taught how to catch small prey and eat bamboo, just like their parents.
Do panda bear colors change with the seasons?
No, unless they're biologically modified, which is always an option.
How does the panda defend itself?
Don't let the fluffy image or the diet fool you. It's a 250 pound bear with claws and teeth, like most bears it will avoid contact but when cornered or protecting cubs it will fight. They are not common but there are cases of attacks on humans both in the wild and in zoos, Beijing Zoo's Gu Gu has bitten 3 people to date (although one of them, a drunken student after a hug bit him back!).
It is important to know the scientific classification for animals. Both the Giant Panda and the Red Panda are in the class Mammalia.
I think they are white?anyways good question though!
How many panda bears live in the U S?
Neither of the panda species are native to the US.
And particularly the Giant Panda is difficult to get to breed in captivity.
All Giant Pandas outside China are on loan from China, and AFAIK none have bred outside China.
The Red AKA Lesser Panda is less fickle, and there may well be a few of those that have bred in US parks and zoos.
What is the panda's gestation?
The gestation period for a panda ranges averages about 4 months from the brief research I have done. Just like with humans it is an approximation not an exact science.
Why do zoologists disagree that the giant panda is a part of the bear family?
It was previously believed that pandas were a subspecies somewhere between the raccoon and bear family. Recently however, genetic testing has proven that pandas are indeed part of the bear family, Ursidae. They merely have more primitive traits than most bears of today which was the reason scientists were confused. Today, scientists now understand that pandas are actually true bears, but are often called "living fossils" for their unique prehistoric behaviors.
Yes! Until recently, pandas were thought to be part of a subspecies between the raccoon and the bear family. Through genetic testing, it has been found that pandas are indeed true bears of the Ursidae family. The pandas closest relative is the spectacled bear of South America. Giant pandas are a very old species of animal, often referred to as a "living fossil", because they carry traits that only bears many centuries ago would have had.
What are three reasons Pandas are an endangered species?
Giant Pandas are endangered primarily from habitat loss and from the fact that they have a very low birthrate. China has put increasing pressure on their habitat in the last century from population growth and land use changes. Also, they have traditionally been poached, primarily for their fur and skin.
Many stuffed animals depict the panda's tail as black but it is in fact white.it is not only white is is both because some panda's are different from the other.
Does a panda live with other pandas?
Yes, red pandas do live with the famous black and white Giant Pandas across the Sechuan province of Northwest China. Red Pandas, however, range from China to India and Nepal and can live in many areas where there are no Giant Pandas (and vice-versa)
Is a pandas habitat hot or cold?
They do live in a cold forest, so they may prefer to be a little warmer.
How does the giant squid's eyes help them survive in their habitat?
how do the squid's eyes help it to survive?
Who was the first panda born in the US?
Frst Panda born in capivity was named PING PING at the Bieing Zoo in 1963.
How can we help save the red wolf from going extinct?
The steps have already been taken, and the red wolf now roams free in eastern North Carolina, around 100 of them. You can contact The Red Wolf Society.
red pandas are very friendly mate told me if you go near one it will snuggle up to you like a cat.
How many offspring do mice have?
Responsibly? MIce can be bred around 3 times and must have breaks in between matings. A pair of mice can make up to 20 (but more commonly somewhere around 10) babies but the babies must wait until they are around 3 months old to breed, or the chances of complications rise. So, if you are a responsible breeder, a pair of mice could make somewhere around 50-100 mice.
Even if you are breeding mice for reptile food, you should still do research and follow these guidelines. Just dumping mice into a tub to breed and breed and breed in unsanitary conditions is unethical treatment of animals... not only that, but what goes into your mouse, goes into your snake. If you breed without considering the health of the animal and your pet eats that animal, it is not getting optimum nutrition.
