Almost very one loves panda. Panda had been connected to World Wild life Fund for Nature (WWF) since the day the organization founded as they are\u00a0\u00a0the symbol of WWF since 1961<\/a>.\u00a0And they helped a lot with panda protection in China.\u00a0And now I will show some interesting facts about panda.<\/p>\n

First, lets talk about eating. Pandas eat half of the day<\/a>, which is 12 hours per day. And usually, people always link pandas with bamboos. However, pandas are actually omnivores<\/a>, they which means they can eat both plant and meat. \u00a0But still, they prefer bamboo leaves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes panda will do some thing just like other animals in the bear family. They will\u00a0hunt\u00a0pikas and other small rodents.These bears are excellent tree climbers despite their bulk.<\/p>\n

Second, almost everyone knows that pandas are from China. But in fact, they are not all over China. They can be found in only mountain ranges in central China<\/a>, which is near the\u00a0Yangtze<\/a>\u00a0river.<\/p>\n
