Life of a panda

         Panda bears live mainly high up in the mountains forests in western China, although some were said to be living in northern Vietnam as well. They live mainly in bamboo forest because bamboo is a main source of food for them. They eat leaves and steams and different types of species but occasionally will hunt for rodent as well to get their meat. A normal day for a panda is to go out and find some bamboo to eat and rest and then eat more bamboo. Pandas do not hibernate like other bears do.

          Pandas are known for being solitary creatures, the only time they go out to find another panda is when they need to mate then they leave after mating. When the baby is born the cubs stay with their mothers from 1-½ years to 3 years. Then they go off on their own and live a solitary life like pandas do. They play a crucial role in maintaining the bamboo forests by watching the growth of the trees and spreading the seeds for more bamboo to grow.
