Panda Habitat
- Giant pandas' natural habitat is the bamboo forests of China.
- Their habitat is located in high mountain areas, primarily in Sichuan Province.
- Pandas used to inhabit lowland areas, but deforestation forced their migration to the mountains.
- Mountainous areas in panda habitats experience heavy rainfall year-round.
Panda Diet
- Pandas primarily eat bamboo (99%).
- They are technically omnivores, meaning they consume both plants and animals.
- Occasional small prey, such as fish or rodents, comprise the remaining 1% of their diet.
- Pandas eat bamboo for up to 12 hours daily to maintain their size, largely deriving their water intake from bamboo.
Panda Conservation
- Pandas are an endangered species, facing potential extinction.
