Panda bear report!

Introduction

Did you know that pandas live in China. Now they are still living in China in the Sichuan region and many other places in China.

Giant pandas can climb trees but they can also swim. They can live as long as 15 -20 years.  Also when baby pandas are 6-8 weeks old, they can open their eyes and begin to grow teeth.

Three months later, the baby panda can crawl slowly. Giant pandas give birth when they are between four and eight years.

Pandas have a white face, black ears, black eyes and a black stripe down the middle of its back! A giant  panda’s habitat is the bamboo forest in Western China.

Pandas sleep on their backs with their arms to the side and legs out.  As you may know a panda’s diet is bamboo, leaves and stems.

Did you know pandas must eat 12-38 kg...that’s a lot. A baby toddler panda is about the same size as a teddy bear. Pandas have cat-like pupils, they have strong teeth. Their paws have six fingers on them and their body length is 42 - 180 cm. Their shoulder length is 54 - 81 cm.

China is the perfect place for pandas to live as it has plenty of bamboo forests with stems and shoots.  The pandas can lay about in these forests with their paws out, and legs apart enjoying their food in comfort.
