熊猫生涯

    The panda lives only in the mountain with bamboo forests of Southwest China. There are only about 1,000 wild pandas left in the world. Pandas are members of the bear family. They wear a white coat with some black bands(条纹). Their favourite food is bamboo. However, if they are very hungry and cannot find bamboo, pandas may eat grass, fruit, or sometimes, small animals like chicken.

    Pandas do not live in groups. They only leave their home from March to May to look for a mate(配偶). A mother panda usually has two babies once. Baby pandas are very small, pink and weigh about 140 grams when they are born. Mother pandas feed their babies with milk. A baby panda opens its eyes at six to seven weeks. It starts to learn how to walk when it is about three or four months old. Mother pandas look after their babies for about 18 months. Once the young is strong enough, it says goodbye to its mother and moves out to live by itself.
