The panda is considered a pretty bear very many. What is the pretty and charming appearance of this "plush" bear. The word "Panda" means "Bear Cat". A funny break is very similar to an ordinary bear, is distinguished by small sizes and pretty coloring wool. Paws, chest, ears and shoulders of panda of black color, and the rest of his shaggy fur coat - white. Small, almost like cats, eyes are also black with a pretty vertical incision of pupils.
Features of nutrition
Panda belongs to animals that eat everything. What does a panda love? In nature, it prefers to eat vegetable food, but sometimes, experiencing a lack of protein, switches to small mammals, Bird eggs, bee honey, occasionally may not be squealing and padal. In addition to leaves, stems and bamboo shoots, Panda adore the bark of trees, edible roots, flowers and ordinary grass. What do panda eat yet? Chinese zoologists noticed that sometimes in their natural ration Lukovyan plants, insect larvae and small rodents fall.
Day diet Panda
It consists of almost one hundred percent of the bamboo. Moreover, adults are mainly eating young shoots and leaves of this tree. For food, they take up to 14 hours a day, during this time one animal has time to absorb up to 20 kilograms of this plant. What do panda eat? Bamboo is the main food of these cute little animals, which is a certain problem for countries where it lives. For example, in China there are about 300 species of this plant, and Panda is used only 15 varieties. Thus, they destroy them systemally. New, suitable plants that are replaced by eaten, appear very slowly. In order for the animal to die from hunger, at least two different types of bamboo should grow in the places of habitat. Many are interested in the question about, Panda eats eucalyptus or not? So, she does not eat eucalyptus.
Water
All living beings on Earth requires water, panda is no exception. They try to dwell near her source. Pandas are sufficiently slow, and long transitions to the aquaulus take away a lot of energy. Therefore, they will fall in pairs in the occurrence of bamboo, no further than 8 kilometers from the water source. The physiological features of the animal are arranged in such a way that drinking him just once a day.
How to feed Panda
How and what do panda eat? These animals feed sitting, thanks to the unique structure of their front paws. On the wrist they have a bone that reminds thumb on man's hand. This bone is very flexible, makes it possible to capture the "finger" branch bamboo and send them into the mouth. The body of the panda is absorbed to 20 percent of the plant eaten. The animal deliberately chooses the most delicious and nutritious parts of the branches, eat a lot and quickly enough. Daily can use the amount of food, equal to 15 percent of it own weight. The science is known when the "plush" teddy bear behind one sewed about 40 kilograms of young shoots. What do panda eat other bamboo? If, migrating, Panda does not find it can use anything in food, even small mammals. If it's very tight, it will not pass and fell past. The individuals who live in captivity (zoo, nursery, circus) eat and ordinary human food, such as different cereals, special biscuits, consisting of fiber, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes.
What do panda eating adults? Young individuals prefer fresh, which appeared bamboo shoots, adults eat everything, without choosing soft parts of the plant.
Device of digestive authorities Panda
If you compare the digestive system of the panda, for example, with this, the latter it consists of a long intestine, a two-chamber stomach with a complex structure. They contain special bacteria that provide the process of ferrying cellulose. Nothing like this is observed in the body of Panda, since their ancestors are predatory animals. The stomach and the digestive tract is covered with a layer of elastic thick mucous membrane, which protects against sharp chips of the eaten bamboo. Only 20% of food is absorbed by the body from the total mass of the eaten. Animal compensates low level The effectiveness of its nutrition by lengthening the time it spends on the feeder. And the missing nutrients receives from protein (animal) food.
Panda is called bamboo bears due to attachment to bamboo food. Now it is a practically disappeared species listed in the Red Book. Scientists and zoologists are trying to revive the population, creating nurseries and producing young individuals on the will into environmental zones. In nature, Panda survived only in China and some parts of Laos and Malaysia. The PRC about the growth of the population takes care at the government level.
Understanding the origin of the word "Panda" is not a simple problem. The first mention of a giant panda in the literature occurred more than 3,000 years ago in the book of history and the book of songs (the earliest collection of Chinese poetry), in which the creature was called the creature as PI and Pixiu.
Long ago it was. The family of Chinese shepherds settled on the slope of the mountain. Every morning they removed the flock of sheep near the bamboo thumbs. And from the forest went out a little panda to play with the sheep, because they were the same white as he.
One day a huge leopard attacked the flock of sheep.
Sheep fused, and Panda did not know how to quickly run. And I would not save him, but the young shepherd did not get confused and began to beat the leopard stick.
She drove the evil beast, but he herself received many wounds. And brave shepherd died. When the rest of Panda learned that the girl gave her life for their fellow, they began to cry bitterly and sprinkle themselves as ashes.
Crying, Panda rubbed eyes and closed the ears, so as not to hear the echoes of the universal grief. Comforting each other, they kept behind the paws and sobbed. Since then, the snow-white skins of Panda handled, but not entirely, but only on the eyes, ears and legs.
Later, the animal appeared in Er Ya, the first Chinese dictionary; In the classics of the seas and mountains, famous book by geography; And in the annotated readings of the books of songs. These books gave Panda three new names - Mo, Zhi Yi and Bai Hu - and described the creature as a white fox, white leopard and an animal, like a tiger or a white bear. As if the personality of this bamboo amateur was not already confused, the gigantic panda in later literature also received new names of Meng Shi Shou (predator), Bai Bao ( white leopard), SHI Ti Shou (eating iron animal) and Zhu Xiong ( bamboo Bear). To this day, the Chinese name for a giant panda is still subject to discussion. Is it really a ribbon bear (Huaxiong), a feline bear (Maoxiong), similar to the Bear Cat (Xiongmao), or a Great Panda (Daxiongmao)?
Panda, common name Two species of Asian mammals of the detachment of predatory, somewhat similar to each other outwardly and in terms of lifestyle, but related to different families. A big panda, or a bamboo bear (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca), reaches a length of 1.5 m, not counting the tail (another 12.5 cm), and the weight of 160 kg. The beast has a very characteristic pattern: black or dark brown ears, "glasses" around the eyes, a nose of the nose, lips and limbs, including the shoulder "clamp", and the rest of the body is white, sometimes with reddish. This species is found in the Chinese provinces Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi, where he lives in dense thickets Bamboo among coniferous forests At the edge of Tibetan Highlands. It is usually observed at altitudes 2700-3900 m above U.M., although in winter it is sometimes descended to 800 m above U.M. From the second half of the 20th century, Panda became something like the national emblem of China. A large panda feeds almost exclusively by bamboo, including in the diet other plants, such as irises and saffron, and even small mammals such as rodents. Usually the beast feeds in a sitting position of 10-12 hours per day, holding the bamboo shoots "predominant" and the first two fingers of the front paws, rubbing with the plants to the tooth a rigid outer layer, and then slowly chewing the purified stem. This species is on the verge of extinction and listed in the international red book. According to existing estimates, in the mid-1990s, no more than 1000 of its individuals remained in nature. Although for the murder big Panda In China, relies the death penaltyThe main threat to her, apparently, remains poaching. Local peasants kill beasts for their fur, and individual individuals are dying in plants placed on Kabargi. Systematic position Large Panda for many years has aroused disputes: it was attributed to the families of raccoon (procyonidae), bearish (Ursidae) or allocated to a special Pandal family (Ailuropodidae). However, a molecular analysis, which included comparison of proteins and DNA of this species and these types of predatory, fully confirmed its proximity to bezed on the basis of anatomical and paleontological data. From the evolutionary line led to them modern speciesThe ancestors of the Big Panda separated 15-25 million years ago, so it was decided to allocate the Ailuropodinae family of bear in a special subfamily.
Panda Panda (Lat. Ailurus Fulgens. - "The cat painted as a fire", also known as a small panda, "Cat-Bear", "Fire Cat" - Animal Family of Malopandov, mostly herbivore, a little larger cat. Systematic position of a small panda for a long time It was unclear. It was attributed to the family of raccoon, then to bearish, they were allocated to a separate family. However, the latter genetic studies have shown that a small panda forms its own Malopanda family (Ailluridae), which, together with family of raccoon, skunk and kunih, forms the junior-like (Musteloidea). Body length 51-64 cm, tail 28-48 cm, weighs 3-4.5 kg. The torso extended, the tail is fluffy, the head is wide, with a short sharp face and large pointed ears. It has 38 teeth. Laps are short, strong, with half-way claws. From above, a small panda wool redhead or nuts, a dark, reddish-brown or black. At the hair on his back yellow tips. Lapes glossy-black, the tail of redheads, with low-charming brightened narrow rings, the head is light, and the edges of the ears and the muzzle are almost white, and near the eye drawing in the form of a mask. In their way appearance Small panda is closer to the kink. Written references to this beast in China will go up by the XIII century, but Europeans learned about it only in the XIX century. Officially "opened" him in 1821. English General and Naturalist Thomas Harder, which collected material in the territory of the English colonies. He suggested calling this animal with the word "HHA" (WHA) - one of his chinese titlesbased on the imitation of the sounds published by animal. In addition, the general said, the Chinese call it "Han-ho" (HUN-HO) and Punya (Poonya), from which modern Panda) occurred. but latin name - Ailurus Fulgens (Red Cat), a new animal gave French Naturalist Frederick Kuwie. The small panda is limited to Yunnan and Sichuan province and Sichuan in China, the North of Burma, Bhutan, Nepal and the Northeast of India. West of Nepal she is not found. Lives in mountain bamboo forests at an altitude of 2000-4000 m above sea level in conditions moderate climate. The ancestors of the current Panda were widespread much wider; their remains are found in Eastern Europe, and in North America.
However, these animals were obviously adapted to a certain type of climate, with a change in which they had sharply decreased and their arral. Little panda It leads mainly a night (or rather, the twilight) lifestyle, sleeping in the voupel, curled and covered your head with the tail. In case of danger, also climbs on the trees. On the ground, Panda moves slowly and embarrassing, but they face trees perfectly, but nevertheless it feeds mainly on Earth. Although small panda is a representative of the detachment of predatory, 95% of its diet make up young leaves and bamboo shoots. The remaining 5% is various fruits, berries, mushrooms, bird eggs and even small rodents. Unlike a large panda, small is very selective in nutrition. If the "bamboo bear" eats almost all parts of the bamboo, the small panda looks like shoots the shoots. Observations have shown that small pandas are spent on the feeder at 13 o'clock per day. IN calm state Small pandas make short sounds resembling bird chirping. A small panda is distinguished by a peace-loving character and easily carries out in captivity. The drugs live in pairs or families in the forests. "Personal" territory of females, as shown recent research, covers an area of \u200b\u200babout 2.5 km?, male - twice as much. The period of reproduction in Panda comes in January. Between the mating and childbirth in the female passes from 90 to 145 days, of which the development of the embryo is only 50 days, since the development of the fetus begins not immediately after conception, but a rather long time called a diapause. Shortly before childbirth, the female builds a nest of branches and leaves in the Dupe or Railseck. In the brood 1-2, occasionally 4 blind young, but rarely survives more than one. With the mother, they remain sometimes for a whole year, to the new litter. Although a small panda occupies a very large territory and natural enemies She has a little, this species is included in the lists of the International Red Book with the Status "Danger." The fact is that the density of animals in nature is very low, and, in addition, habitats of the Red Panda can easily be destroyed. Fortunately, a small panda is quite well multiplied in captivity. Currently, about 300 of these animals are contained in 85 world zoos and as much as the same was born in captivity over the past two decades.
Spotted Bear, bribing with its good-natured smile, there is a bamboo clumsy manner, funny movements and a pretty look, has long been a favorite of adults and children.
A big panda in its black and white "fur" looks very attractive. It is considered one of the most ancient animals in the world and is currently on the grain of disappearance. Big pandas live exclusively in high mountains And in the deep valleys of the ridge of the Yangtze River. They feed on leaves and young bamboo shoots. Due to continuous deterioration natural environmentwhich led to the flowering of monocarpic bamboo species and their large-scale death, the number of large pandas living on the will is significantly reduced. Currently, around the world there are only about 1000 individuals.
Several facts about Panda: a special diet of a giant panda is very unusual for mammals. Only a handful of animals is so highly dependent on bamboo, including a red pond, bamboo lemurs (Golden Bamboo Lemur, greater bamboo lemur and bamboo lemur (Hapalemur Griseus)) found in Madagascar, and bamboo rats (including Rhizomys Sinensis, R.Pruinosus, and R .sumatrensis) found in China and South-East Asia. (Roberts 1992).
Bamboo varieties usually multiply with lateral escapes underground. Periodically, the bamboo is multiplied with another way - with flowering, often in a wide area, creation of seeds and then death. Generally required 2 - 3 years before new sprouts appear from seeds. In the period between 1974 and 1976, the umbrella bamboo (Fargesia), and other varieties of bamboo, from which pandas depend on, extinct on large spaces of Northern Sichuan and China. As a result, at least 138 pandas died. (Schaller et al. 1985)
Although by the end of the 1980s poaching in relation to the giant panda, the death penalty was punished, the financial reward for the sale of the skins of the Giant Panda was so high (more than the lifelong income of the middle peasant) that even the death penalty did not seem to determine: "Even though I I risked my life, it was worth it, "this quotes of poacher caught by the police. - "If you were not caught me, I would be rich." (Schaller 1993)
In 1995, the Chinese farmer who shot and killed a giant panda and tried to sell her skin, was sentenced to life imprisonment. (ORYX 1995Q).
"Local residents have hunted a lot to the Panda until 1949 ... in last yearsHowever, most people realized the rarity and value of the panda, understanding now that Panda is a national treasure, they help, and do not kill it. When, for example, a patient adult panda came to the settlement in October 1978, the family fed her with sugar beet and rice until she left three days later. "(Schaller 1985).
The history of this bear is very interesting and even romantic. In the second half of the last century, an event, which was crowded even the mated scientists of many countries occurred in circles of zoologists and naturalists. To the Paris Museum natural History delivered the original skin in the color large beast, similar to first glance on the bear. But when it was spread on the floor, it was thought that she was sewn with a skillful master of large flasks of animal fur black and white. Riddle! The skin was subjected to a thorough inspection, vertors in hand and so and soyak, but no traces of cutting and sewing, gluing or other paper clips did not find. What is this skins? - Scientists thought. Maybe she belongs to an extinct animal? But some experts objected and believed that the fur on the skins of the tricky was etched or painted, and in reality she was a bearish. But who and where did it get and delivered this skin-riddle to Paris? In 1869, the French missionary Arman David traveled in China. In addition to his religious activity, he, being a naturalist, simultaneously collected information about the animal world of the country, acquired interesting exhibits. In one of the deaf villages of Sichuan Province, he discovered this strange skin on the fence. David acquired it after the locals told him that she belongs to the real beast, inhabited in the vicinity of the village, highly in the mountains among bamboo thickets. The name of the beast "Bay-Shung", which translated approximately "White Mountain Bear". A. David managed to send the skin to Paris, and he himself continued to search for the owner of the skins. He got lucky. In the same year, he acquired the killed Bay Shung hunters, processed him and put it with the presentation of hunting stories to France. It was 114 years ago. Having received the second skin and skeleton, scientists could already draw conclusions. For a large external similarity with ordinary bear And by the nature of the food (A. David, said that Bay Shuhungs feed in the main bamboo) initially ordered a bamboo bear. However, after carefully having studied the materials, Zoologists soon abandoned the hasty definition and the new beast in many morphological and anatomical features Required to the raccoon family, named Big Panda. Big because earlier, in 1825, a small panda, a animal, inhabiting in some areas of Asia, was credited to the family. In its appearance, it is sharply different from the newly, and the small and large panda is listed in their family in various types. Years, but the initial name of the big panda - the bamboo bear turned out to be a lively, and it is often used in everyday life, since the external resemblance to the Bear is undoubted. I must admit that when I first saw a living big panda during a trip to the PRC, it was also amazed her appearance. Well right polar bear In large horny glasses on the beast carnival, who put on a black vest, black gloves, stockings, headphones. Opening unusual beast, as usual, turned against him. Panda became interested not only scientists, but also rare miners hunting trophies, catchers and dealers wild animals. A lot of adventurers from Europe and new light rushed to China. But it was extremely difficult to get to the habitats of the big Panda. On the path of hunters, highlands, off-road, dense forests, impassable bamboo thickets, numerous water barriers, mountain collar ... with local residents The first big panda managed to catch in 1916, but she died quickly. And only twenty years later, one American acquired a young panda and safely delivered it to the United States, in the city of San Francisco. Local hunters, as soon as they caught the beast, called him Su-Lin, that in translation meant a "little piece of great value." And it was really so. Big Panda is the rarest animal of the world. It is distributed only in Chinese People's Republic. Now inhabit mountain forests at an altitude of up to two thousand meters above sea level and above in the province of Sichuan. It may also be preserved in unexplored, hard-to-reach Province of Gansu and a number of Tibet regions. The firstborn in the captivity of Su-Lin (it was a fellow) was demonstrated in a number of US zoos. After some time, after a long search, in the United States, two adult pandas were delivered, and then several of these animals were in London. Until that time, in any of the zoos of the world there were no such animals. After World War II, the habitats of these rarest animals were announced by the protected. Several research groups began to carefully study Baishungs to find out whether it is possible to contain and multiply bamboo bears in captivity. Expeditions were crowned with success. In 1957, Big Panda first settled in our country, in a special house on the territory of the Moscow Zoo. It was a large male nickname Pin Pin. And in the summer of 1959, it was possible to purchase a second copy, as a couple of Pin Pin. His named Anne Ann, but, and regret, he was also a male. So we lived in Moscow two beauties of Bobyl. In 1961, the Austrian merchant was taken to the PRC large group African animals exchanged it on a young female of a big panda nicknamed chi chi. With this zoological star, it was so called one of the prominent English zoologists - the chi chi holder arrived in England, where he sold it to London zoological society for huge money. In 1966, the British offered us to reunite the Moscow Kavalera An-An with Chi Chi. We agreed, and the overseas bride arrived with a special flight from London to Moscow by plane. It was placed in a transport "carriage" made of plexiglas, non-ferrous metals and plastic. We met this extraordinary guest scholars-zoologists, representatives of our state bodies, employees of the metropolitan zoo, employees of the British embassy and a great many correspondents. One of them said in a joke: "I often, by the nature of my activity, I am at the international airport of the capital, but not a single premiere did not meet." And indeed, there was a lot of noise. Chi Chi lived in the Moscow Zoo for six months, but did not make friends with Anna, and she was sent back. In 1968, the experiment was repeated. This time, An-Anh flew to visit Chi Chi. In London, he lived half a year and also to no avail. But, as you know, there is no way without good: both dates, although they did not give the desired result, helped us better understand the features of the biology of the big pandas. For example, no one suspected that good-natured in appearance and very unequal in the nature of the animals in certain circumstances can be very aggressive. Sometimes brutal contractions occurred between our "Sweden". It was necessary to deal with the help of branded, idle shots from hunting rifles, as well as applying special peaks and shields from thick plywood. When attacking and protecting, the animals showed a large dexterity and typical receptions for predators: capture the enemy with front paws, powerful shocks on the head of the enemy, rapid tranue with the whole body weight, grip teeth and so on. It turned out that these usually silent animals have very loud voices. The excited Chi Chi was whining, and then published such sharp pipe sounds that glass was trembling in the neighborhoods. She even was soa, well, just like a cow. The cavalier during the meetings bleated, like a sheep, vested, and in the critical moments of the fighting of the pipe and washed.
It was not known about the reproduction of a large panda for a long time, but in September 1963, in the Beijing Zoo, the kid picked up the baby, his weight was 142 grams. He grew very quickly and to five months scored ten kilograms. The baby was called the min-min, that is, "brilliant, sparkling." The first ten days after the birth of the female did not let him down from him even during the food. Two-month cubs she moved from the paw on the paw, playing them as a doll. At three months, the brilliant began to move independently - the mother will fall asleep, and he is for a walk, but she quickly woke up, instantly found her child and slapped her paw. In September 1964, the same female gave birth to a second kid, and scientists were able to determine that their young big pandas were carrying about 140 days. Young pandas in captivity is very playful, they are good-natured, funny, moving a lot, take the most unusual postures: - can stand on the head, helping themselves with the front paws, perfectly tumble through the head, deftly climb on lattices and nets, stairs, rods and sesters . The front paws they hold the balls enamelled and aluminum bowls waiting when they fill them. People relate to people without any hostility, however, when playing and feeling the senses, measures do not know, may accidentally grasp the teeth, scratch the front paw claws and pushed to the wall. But at the same time they are tamed well, quickly remember the data of their nicknames. Having achieved three or four-year-old age, large pandas become more slow, they are no longer so trusting for people, and to handle them accounted for, extending caution. The beast is not small. Height in the shoulders of adult animals up to seventy, and body length is up to one hundred seventy centimeters. Solid and weight. An adult male, who lived in the Moscow Zoo, reached 185 kilograms to the twelve, and he was not recalled, behind this in the zoo strictly followed.
"Solidity" of adult pandas is expressed in their amazing poses. They can sit like in a chair, bespread at this one of the front paws about the protrusion and leaning his back to some subject, in such a pose they can build or slowly engage in their toilet, and then they simply clean the sprigs of brooms from the leaves and slowly chew them. In nature, Panda is active at the dresses and at night. The same was observed in the zoo. From about ten in the morning to four or five hours of the day, most of the time the beasts were in the shadows, stretching on the ground of the chamber or on the cell floor, and dreamed. With the onset of twilight became active, moved a lot, played, fed, and at the left-handed tracks we found that at night they were not lifted. They have a warm fur coat, with outdoor air temperatures up to minus ten degrees, our pets willingly walked in the open enclosures, bathed in the snow, walked a lot of gait characteristic of them to the side of the head from side. We noticed that Panda was very clean. Most The time they are silent, only occasionally make sounds similar to blurry. In the summer, they do not like storm rains, hide from them in shelter, but after the rain willingly roam the puddles and raw grass. But in the swimming pool, they refuse, just run in shallow water, hiding themselves with splashes.
His touching appearance, a giant panda conquered the whole world. 15 years ago, many experts predicted the disappearance of the Giant Panda, as bamboo forests in Western China quickly cut down. Currently, according to optimistic estimates, in natural conditions, a little more than 1,500 animals have been preserved and a gigantic panda is officially listed in the Red Book. Taken serious steps To prevent its extinction and increase in the number of animals. However, gigantic pandas are well known to zologs with their low sexual activity, so there are huge problems with breeding them in captivity. Each giant panda, which appeared on the light, immediately becomes a star.
Panda belongs to predatory animals, and the main food is vegetation, and by and large, they can be called vegetarians. 99% of their food is a bamboo. An adult person of this animal uses about 30 kg bamboo daily. But on technical characteristics, Panda as practically and all animals are omnivorous, in their diet enter some insects, eggs. Animal food, Panda is as needed to increase squirrel.
If you have a computer and access to the Internet, then without much trouble, you can arrange leisure not only yourself, but also to your children. Great many offers on the Internet, there you can pick up any cartoon, at the desires of your child. 
Small pandas lead mainly night image Life, during the daytime, Panda is resting or sleeping in his refuge, it turns into the Kalachik and covered with a tail. If such animals lies danger, they are very quickly climbing the tree. On land, they behave ridiculous, without special dexterity and slowly, but as they should get to the tree, fall into their elements, but mostly food mines on the surface of the Earth.
Small panda is a predator, and the main food in the diet makes up young leaves and young bamboo shoots, and it is 95%. The remaining 5% of the meal of the bears fill with mushrooms, bird eggs, small rodents, berries. 
Small bears are more picky in the choice of food, rather than big. Bamboo Mischi Absorbs the plants almost completely, and small bears choose shoots, only young and gentle. Pandas are disposed of about 14 hours a day of their free time for food search, it was revealed by the method of observation. In the time of time, which panda lead a peaceful lifestyle, they serve short notes of voice, this voice resembles the barking of birds. Panda is a very peaceful animal by nature, do not experience special inconveniences in captivity.
All gigantic pandas are animals beautiful and peace-loving. Coloring in Panda White with Dark Spots, although with age white color May acquire a yellowish color. The drawing of his camouflage comes to habitat in a bamboo twilight and in the conditions of the snowy season. Belong to the Bear family, but unlike most of them, do not fall into the hibernation. They live with groups and only in the spring during the pairing there are single individuals. Adult panda reaches 1.5-2 meters and weigh 130 kg or more. Although these animals are quite large, but they can put on tops of huge trees.
Interesting movies, TV shows and TV shows can be seen on the Megogo website. Here big choice Views feature films For all ages and preferences. Convenient interface I. good quality Play.
Such bears dwell in places where there is a lot of carsaf and bamboo. At the mountain ranges of the south-west, China lives to 30% of the global population of Panda. In total, there are about 3,000 individuals of the giant pandas. In zoos, they are contained about 200. In some places, the Panda of the Humanwoods mountains at an altitude of 1300 -1400 meters, and in summer time Pandas can rise to a height of 4000 meters above sea level. Unfortunately, the woodworking industry destroys the gradually the place of free habitat of the Panda. For 20 years, this territory has decreased twice. 
Favorite food panda reed. Very rarely they feed on birds and small rodents, but the bamboo still remains in the first place. This type of bears devotes to its nutrition from 10 to 12 hours a day, but if nutritional value Food is low, it may be needed for more than 14 hours, in order to fit. All the time, free Panda's sleep should eat. Depending on the time of the year, panda living on the will eat leaves, shoots or rigid wood stems and bark of trees. 
IN winter time Panda does not fall into hibernation because it should continue to eat. Bears roam the forest and are looking for food in the snow. Sleeping from the mountains to a smaller height, where the temperature is higher.
The main food is bamboo. For her food is suitable different types of this plant. However, the panda digestive system is adapted to digest the animal food. She also has powerful indigenous teeth. Plant food It cannot digest completely in their organism of the difference from herbivore and ruminant animals, whose food is digested by 80%. Therefore, they have to use a large amount of food. Adult males rides up to 18 kg per day to cover their energy costs.
Find in Russia Panda will not succeed, but here online broadcast From video cameras in other countries it is possible. Recently admired Panda living in one of San Diego Zoos. This is very cute creation. It is interesting to observe her in real time, as if you are very close. At the same time I learned a lot useful information About these animals, now I will tell you what it is.
What are the pandas
I think even a child knows that Panda has a black and white color. In stores with toys and cartoons, this character is found very often. Yes indeed, giant pandait looks like a bear with a black and white fur coat. But there is another kind of this animal. Externally, they are not at all alike. Little pandaThis is the name of the second form, more resembles a raccoon of a large size, and has a brown color. Big panda is easy to find out By external signs:
- large size and weight (about 160 kg);
- black "glasses" around the eyes;
- white wool on her head, abdomen and back;
- 6 fingers on the paws.
In nature Panda dwell only in southern china. They are inhabited by bamboo forests. Small panda is not at all similar to his relative. The size of this animal is much less. An adult animal is not more than a large cat, but the thick layer of wool makes it visually more.
Small pandas have dark red color With small white stains on the face. Such a color of wool makes it almost imperceptible during the rest on the trees. Small and large pandas live by one one. They are going to groups they only during marriage period.
Diet Panda
Pandas are very calm animals. Almost all the time they slowly move in search of food, and then slowly chew it. They are feed vegetable food. The basis of the diet is bamboo. All of its parts go to the move. The calorie content of such food is very small, so animals have to eat several tens of bamboo kilograms per day. IN extreme cases they are can eat food:
- other plants;
- animal small size;
- eggs;
- fish;
- carrion.
The most difficult period in the life of the Panda is the time of flowering bamboo. The outflower plant dies, and the pandas have to look for new habitats and food, which in nature remained very little. That is why these animals try to protect in every way. In China, the death penalty is prescribed for killing Panda.
