About Pandas:-
Renowned as the giant pandas, the panda bear (or simply panda), the adorably cute white-and-black creature has become one of most viewed internet sensation with videos of their hysterical antics. Native to the central region of south China, pandas once wandered in a cosmic area of China as well as tiny pockets of Myanmar. After several years of deforestation and loss of habitat because of farming and urban development, these pandas were forced out of their habitat and the minor number of pandas that survive in the wild currently are concentrated in six Alps covered in bamboo forests.

What do pandas eat?
Although classified as a carnivore, panda's food largely involves bamboo, which has resulted to their decease as huge areas of bamboo jungle are deforested in order to make new highways and increasing urban extension. Pandas in the wild will also feed for different types of grasses and wild roots, occasionally consuming on little birds and rodents.

How do pandas behave?
A huge portion of a wild panda's daytime is occupied by eating. As bamboo has a less nutritional value, an adult panda must eat up to 20kg each day, which takes around 16 hours because of the time spent foraging and the amount of chewing required. The remaining time is spent napping or relaxing. In the wild pandas are territorial creatures and spend their time isolated except for the short-term mating season, which takes place between March and May.
