 THE PANDA
BEAR

Pandas are well-known and loved animals worldwide, they are a shy and
peaceful animal, they live in mountainous regions east of Tibet, southwest
China. These animals are in danger of extinction due to their extreme shyness
and the destruction of their natural habitat.
They use their enlarged wrist bones that function as opposable thumbs.

A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter—about 1/900th the size
of its mother—but females can grow up to about 200 pounds, while males can
grow up to about 300 pounds as adults. These bears are excellent tree climbers
despite their bulk.
Proceeds
Panda droppings may hold the key to dramatically reducing the emissions of chemicals and gases
needed to produce biofuels. These curious animals have inside them a bacterium capable of
breaking down strong plant materials, a necessary process when manufacturing biomass. Thanks
to this advance, the need for high temperatures, strong acids and high pressures necessarily used
for the production of biofuels could be eliminated
Habitat
The panda's only habitat is the eastern edge of the mountain in wester China, in Sichuan, Shaanxi and
Gansu. Pandas mainly live in Sichuan Province (hence, it is "the home of panda bears").
China’s Yangtze Basin region holds the panda’s primary habitat. Infrastructure development (such as dams,
roads, and railways) is increasingly fragmenting and isolating panda populations, preventing pandas from
finding new bamboo forests and potential mates.

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
 Feeding
The panda's main food is
bamboo (around 99% of their diet),
although it also feeds on
Fruits. where they subsist almost entirely on bamboo. They must eat around 26 to 84 pounds of it every day,
depending on what part of the bamboo they are eating.
Threats
Its main ones are:
Difficulty in reproducing
when they are in captivity.
Illegal hunting:
Because of their fur which is very
prized or as a trophy The destruction of their habitat: Due to
the felling of thousands of hectares of bamboo forests
