…who thinks a panda life is boring,
for a panda it is just a little relaxing after & before eating…..
The panda, with its distinctive coat considered a national treasure in China. The bear also has a special significance in the logo since the founding in 1961 of the WWF. The actual wild panda population is approximately less than 2000.
Pandas live mainly in moderate temperate broadleaf & high in the mixed forests mountains of southwest China, mainly in Sichuan, but also in neighbouring Shaanxi & Gansu.
Their diet is almost entirely based on bamboo, eating around 12 to almost 45 kg of it every day, depending on the part of the bamboo they are eating occasionally other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets. Pandas eat fast, they eat a lot, since bamboo is not very nutritious they spend about 12 h a day “munching” it & digest only about a fifth of what they eat.
A new-born panda is about 1/900th the size of its mother, 20/ 25 cm, females can grow up to about 100 kg, while males can grow up to about 150 kg as adults. Pandas can climb as high as 40 m & are also very good swimmers,….sometimes male pandas relax by doing handstands against trees.
Forest loss also reduces pandas’ access to the bamboo they need to survive. The Chinese government has established more than 50 panda reserves, but only around 67% of the total wild panda population lives in reserves, with 54% of the total habitat area being protected.
First founded & build in 1906 during the late Qing dynasty. The Beijing Zoo is a zoological park in Xizhimen, Xicheng District, is the oldest zoo in China & oldest public park in northern China. The zoo is also an important centre of zoological research that studies & breeds of rare animals mainly from China, but also from various continents.
The area of the 89 hectares large zoo is including 5.6 hectares of lakes & ponds, it has one of the largest animal collections in the country. The zoo & its aquarium have over 450 species of land animals & over 500 species of marine animals; it is home to over 15,000 animals.
The Beijing zoo's grounds resemble classical Chinese gardens, with flower beds amidst natural scenery, including dense groves of trees, stretches of meadows, small streams & rivers, lotus pools, hills dotted with pavilions & historical buildings. The Beijing Zoo is well known for its collection of rare animals endemic to China including the giant pandas, which are zoo's most popular animals,
