The black and white appearance of the Giant Panda has become a well recognised symbol for all endangered species. Most of the remaining Pandas roam the bamboo forests of western and southern China. With only about a thousand Giant Pandas left in western China, their existence continues to be threatened by man's destruction of their favoured habitats and by poaching.Pandas are becoming increasingly rare in the wild, and struggle to survive in isolated areas or reserves some of which are considered too small to support support population recovery.
The Pandas don't make the situation any easier for themselves. With the digestive system of a carnivore, they have chosen intead to browse the bamboo of their forest habitat, the consequence is that they are forced to spend most of their time feeding. As their main staple diet, adult Pandas must eat an average of 55 pounds of bamboo shoots, stems and leaves daily to get adequate nourishment. All that eating consumes 10 - 16 hours of the Giant Panda's day. |
