<div class="ins cleared xolcc bdrcc">
<ul class="mol-bullets-with-font">
<li><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It's
estimated that there are around 1,600 Giant Pandas in the wild. There
are 300 in zoos and breeding centres around the world. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It's unsure how long Giant Pandas live in the wild. However Chinese scientists reported zoo pandas as old as 35. </span></li>
<li class=""><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">A wild panda's diet is 99 percent bamboo while the remaining one percent is usually small rodents. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Giant Pandas need to consume around 20 to 40 pounds of bamboo each day to get the nutrients they need. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">On all four legs, Giant Pandas stand at around three to four feet tall. </span></li>
<li class=""><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Cubs do not open their eyes until they are six to eight weeks of age and are not mobile until three months. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Video: Why are pandas so lazy?</span><br />
<br />
By <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/author/hanae-armitage">Hanae Armitage</a><br />
9 July 2015<br />
<br />
<br />Giant pandas seem to have mastered the art of leisure. They don’t move much, and when they do, it’s usually to eat. Now, for the first time<span style="background-color: yellow;">, researchers have measured the amount of energy that pandas expend daily, or their daily energy expenditure (DEE). </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
The study, published online today in Science, <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/lookup/doi/10.1126/science.aab2413">finds the DEE to be surprisingly low</a>—5.2 megajoules (MJ) instead of the predicted 13.8 MJ—ranking almost identically with that of the notoriously lazy three-toed sloth (about 5 MJ).</div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b style="background-color: yellow;">A 90-kg panda expends less than half the energy of an equally weighted human; even a person standing motionless still has a higher metabolic rate than an “active” panda.</b> </div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The reason?</i></span></b> The panda’s diet requires it. Though its <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2014/07/how-pandas-survive-their-bamboo-only-diet">digestive system is built for a carnivore</a>, the giant panda survives almost exclusively on bamboo, making digestion an inefficient process. To fulfill nutrient needs, pandas eat heaping quantities of bamboo, anywhere from 9 kg to 18 kg a day. </div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></i></span></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: yellow;">Because this diet provides so few nutrients, pandas need to slow things down. </i></span></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<b><i>That means not moving a lot; harboring smaller energy-sucking organs like the liver, brain, and kidneys; and producing fewer thyroid hormones, which slows their metabolism.</i> </b></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
Sure, we humans move around a lot more—but we don’t have to eat bamboo all day. <br /><br /><br />(Video credit: [Producer/editor] Sarah Crespi; [Research images] Y.

<br /><br />OCTOBER 7, 2013<br /><br />Red Pandas, Lincoln Children's Zoo<br /><br /><br /><br />Twin three-month-old red pandas (Ailurus fulgens fulgens) huddle together at the Lincoln Children's Zoo. Sartore photographed the pair as part of his Photo Ark project, through which he is documenting thousands of rare species.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Half of all the species on Earth could be headed irreversibly toward extinction by 2100. Not if I can help it," Sartore says. "That's the idea behind the Photo Ark: getting the public to look these creatures in the eye, then care enough to save them while there's still time."<br /><br /><br /><br />Learn more about the <a href="http://photoark.com/" style="color: #0f0e0c;">Photo Ark</a> and see more pictures from the project.<br /><br /></div>

<b>The general public won’t get the chance to meet Bao Bao — the National
Zoo’s 4-month-old giant panda cub — until Jan. 18. But on Monday, a few
lucky members of the media got a chance to make her acquaintance and
snap some photos. Born on Aug. 23, Bao Bao is still developing some
basic motor skills, which meant she took some tumbles
during her media session. Her name means “precious” in Chinese — which,
after you view these photos of her, totally makes sense.</b><br />

The name Red Panda means fire-colored-cat and the Red Pandas were discovered before the Giant Panda. Red pandas are native to the Southwest slopes of the Himalayan Mountains.<br />
<br />
Even
though the red panda looks like a raccoon and resembles a cat -- this
bear is most related to the giant panda. It hides, eats and sleeps high
in the treetops, using its long, bushy tail like a pillow and to keep
warm. The panda's thick red fur helps it camouflage (hide) to avoid
predators like snow leopards.<br />
<br />
Red pandas eat bamboo, acorns, roots and berries.</div>
