Chinese Panda



Chinese panda or Ailuropoda melanoleuca is a very smart mammal. It’s extremely docile, shy. It is very respected by the humans, China has a law that protects pandas. A farmer was arrested for shooting a panda.

It lives on the isolated mountains of Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan, but just 20% of these areas are its habitat. The quickly expansion of agriculture contributed for the decline of its habitat.

Panda eats about 30 species of bamboo (99% of its diet), but also insects and eggs.
Normally they have two children but the mother just takes care of one child so one of them is abandoned at birth. Its expectation of life is about 13 years.

Only 10 % of captive pandas can cross on nature.
Only 30% of females can have babies.
More than 60% of captive pandas don’t show sexual desire.
