Information about Panda
Geographic Distribution:
Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central of China, in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. They once lived in lowland areas, but farming, deforestation, and other development now restrict them to the mountains.
Habitat:
Giant pandas live in broadleaf and coniferous forest with dense understory of bamboo, at a elevation between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. Dense mist throughout the year characterizes these forests, often shrouded in heavy clouds.

It is about the size of an American black bear, giant pandas stands between two to three feet tall at the shoulder (on all four legs), and can reach four to six feet long. Male panda are larger than females approximately 18 percent larger, weighing up to 250 pounds (113.4 kg) in the wild. Female panda rarely reach 220 pounds (100 kg).

A wild giant panda's diet is almost exclusively (99 percent) bamboo. The balance consist of other grasses and occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns. However, in zoos giant pandas eat bamboo, sugar cane, rice gruel, a special high-fiber biscuit, carrots, apples, and sweet potatoes.
