Pandas live in China and in zoos around the world. They have few natural predators, and since pandas are highly respected, they are not being hunted which makes them different from most other endangered species.<\/p>\n

\n

Pandas, nevertheless, are still on the endangered species list because their natural habitat is continually shrinking. The forests where pandas live are being cut for the wood and for planting crops thereby reducing the supply of bamboo which is necessary for the pandas survival.<\/p>\n

Pandas, which are as small as a stick of butter when newborn, can weigh up to 330 pounds as adults. They eat between 26 to 84 pounds of bamboo daily! It is not an easy task, and the panda makes good use of his opposable thumbs in the process. What are opposable thumbs? Opposable thumbs allow the panda to hold onto things just as you do when you hold your pencil or pick up your tablet. Do you think that a panda couldtext<\/em>\u00a0with his opposable thumbs?<\/p>\n

The building of roads and railroads also have an impact on the pandas\u2019 habitat because they interfere with the pandas’ ability to get around and to find a mate. After all, pandas can\u2019t drive or take the train when they go out on a date.<\/p>\n
