Panda


Name: Panda
Geographica distribution: South of China and Tibet.
Natural habitat: Bamboo forests of th mountainous region of china, in altitudes of 1500 up to 3000 meters.
Food habits: They are fed almost exclusively of tender leaves and buds of bamboo.
Size: up to 1,50 m
Weigh: up to 160 kg.
Gestation period: 7 to 9 months.
Number of broods: 2
Life expansion: from 10 to 15 years in his wild habitat and up to 30 years in captivity.
The status conservation of species: The Deforestation of the Asian forests, the slow reproduction of bamboo (base of the food chain of the Pandas), the excess of bureaucracy, inefficiency and voracious hunting put the panda under serious risk of extinction. Making it harder for the preservation of the species, their ability to procreate is minimum.

I think these was a good idea because it show's us some features of the endangered animals and when people see's it they start to think what's happening with some species. Panda are a specie very affected, fortunately there are many institutions that protect them, has the WWF-Panda Protecion.

I love Panda
