Panda bears are from the rugged terrain of the mountains of Southwestern China. They have beautiful brown eyes with black oblong-shaped patches of fur behind them. The remainder of their body is all white except for black round ears, black upside down pyramid-shaped nose, black legs and a black band of fur that meets at their shoulders. They have very thick, dense fur that is slightly oily to protect them from the rain and the cold. A full grown panda can weigh as much as 300 pounds and will measure between 5 and 6 feet.
Males usually weigh more than females.
Pandas' primary source of diet is bamboo. Although, pandas will occasionally feed on crocus, iris, bamboo, rats, birds and will invade a farmer's cornfield or behive. Pandas also have a sweet tooth. The leaves and tender stems of bamboo are a pandas favorite part to eat. Pandas usually spends about twelve to fourteen hours a day eating.
