PANDA
A giant panda is a large, furry, black and white mammal. Pandas belong to the same family as bears, but are very rare. In the wild, giant pandas are found only in the cold mountain areas of china. They live in bamboo forests, and spend much of their time eating. Their main food is the bamboo plant.
A female panda gives birth to one or two tiny white cubs at a time. They are born in caves or holes in trees. they look more like mice than pandas, at a first they are helpless so their mother cradles them to keep them safe.
Giant pandas hold bamboo stalks in their front paws as they munch. They have an extra pad on each paw which they use like a thumb to help them grip the bamboo.
