Giant pandas live in dense bamboo forests at an altitude of 2,600-3,500 meters. The air here is thin and foggy all the year round, and the temperature is below 20℃. There are a lot of bamboos here, and the distribution of topography and water sources is conducive to the species to nest, hide and feed its young. Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and love to play. Climbing a tree is generally a way for the weak to avoid the strong when approaching the marriage proposal, or avoiding danger, or meeting each other.

Giant pandas spend half their eating time every day, and most of the rest time in sleep. In the wild, giant pandas sleep for 2-4 hours between meals. 99% of the panda's food is bamboo, and there are more than 60 species of bamboo plants belonging to the genus 12. The life span of giant pandas in the wild is 18-20 years old, and they can be over 30 years old in captivity.

morphological character

Giant pandas are chubby, like bears, with round heads and short tails. Head and trunk length 1.2- 1.8m, tail length 10- 12cm. The weight is 80- 120 kg, and the maximum weight can reach 180 kg. Pandas are slightly heavier, and males are generally slightly larger than females. The head and body are black and white, but black is not pure black, and white is not pure white, but brown in black and yellow in white. The Qinling area is large, with rough body hair and slightly brown belly hair.

Minshan (especially Qingchuan Pingwu) is smaller, with thinner body hair and less brown belly hair, but Liangshan is not small. The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forests and trees on the snow-covered ground, which is not easy to be found by natural enemies. Relatively sharp claws and powerful front and rear limbs are beneficial for giant pandas to climb tall trees quickly.
