A Giant panda is a beautiful black and white mammal. They live in bamboo forests , mostly located on the mountains of central China. Pandas are excellent tree climbers, but often seem clumsy on the ground.
A Giant panda's fur is very thick, soft and plush. Unlike other types of bear, the Giant panda has no tail!
The Giant Panda is an endangered species . This giant panda is very important for our environment because it helps to spread seeds around the forest floor as it eats them! Pandas eat many different kinds of bamboo - just like how you might eat a salad with lots of different foods in it!
Did you know? A baby panda is called a cub ! Male pandas weigh about 230 pounds on average, while female pandas weigh about 180 pounds on average.
