What are some interesting facts about Pandas?
They live in china. The giant panda’s scientific name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca, which means “black and white cat-foot”. Scientists aren’t sure how long pandas live in the wild, but in captivity they live to be around 30 years old. Unlike most other bears, pandas do not sleep in the winters, which is called hibarnation. When winter approaches, they head lower down their mountain homes to warmer temperatures, where they continue to chomp away on bamboo! However these beautiful bears are endangered. Only around 1,000 remain in the wild.
