All about pandas

Pandas are large animals. They can grow to be 4

to 6 feet long and may weigh as much as 350 pounds.

An animal that big needs a lot of food to survive and

pandas are very,very picky about what they would

have for dinner. In fact about 99% of a panda's diet

is made up of one plant which is bamboo. Bamboo is

actually a type of grass that grows in warm, moist

climates like the hilly regions of central China.

The newborn panda is blind and covered with only

a thin all-white coat. The development is slow

during the early months. The baby's eyes begins to

open at about 45 days and the first wobbly steps

are taken at 75 to 80 days. By about 14 months, at

which age the milk teeth have erupted, the infant

readily consumes bamboo and at 18 to 24 months

weaning from the mother takes place.

I love pandas soooo much!

I hope you like them too!
