Pandas

In the world there is are only about 1,600 left in the world and 200 of them are in captivity. Most of the pandas were hunted by poachers but they are also slow reproducers so they cannot create babies fast enough.

Panda's are about 4 ft 8 inches. They are about as tall as a child and will only eat plants and bamboo but they have also taken to eating small birds and insects.

The panda "also known as panda bear or the giant panda to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda, is a bear native to south central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is over 99% bamboo. Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.
