Giant pandas have large molar teeth and strong jaw muscles for crushing tough bamboo.
Many people find these chunky, lumbering animals to be cute, but when threatened, giant pandas can be as dangerous as any other bear. Males are larger than females, weighing up to 250 pounds in the wild. Females rarely reach 220 pounds. There are about 1,000 left in the wild, and about 130 in zoos and breeding centers. Giant pandas live in bamboo forests at elevations between 3,600 and 10,500 feet.
