Panda bears

It is estimated that there are 1500 wild pandas left in 3 provinces of China. Pandas don't hibernate and are active in the winter. At the Panda Sanctuary they stay in the air conditioning in the summer. In the wild they live at high altitudes in the summer (2000-3000 meters) and travel lower in the winter to 800-1000m.

Panda's can be almost 2 meters tall, but new babies only 100 grams,pink, blind.

From, 0-2 months they drink milk. At 4 months they learn to walk and at 6 months they eat bamboo. There are 160 in captivity and they are considered to be a
Chinese national treasure. There is a 1 million dollar fee to rent a bear from Chinese government. This is why very few Pandas are housed in Zoos around the world.
