The Giant Panda

The giant panda is a bear. They share some features of

bears. The giant panda has a body typical of bears. They also
live in a habitat zone where food is available on all year
round. Its diet is made up almost entirely of the leaves, stems
and shoots of various bamboo species. A giant panda will eat
26-84 lbs (12-38 kg) of bamboo every day to meet its energy
needs. Giant panda bears have a massive head, heavy body,
short tail, rounded ears and plantigrade feet (both heel and
toe make contact with the ground when walking in a manner
similar to humans). Giant pandas have very good eyesight.
The Chinese people call the panda "Da Xiong Mao," which
means "giant bear cat" in Chinese. The ears, eye patches,
legs and shoulder band are black while the rest of the body is
white.
