Introduction of giant panda
The giant panda belongs to Xiong Ke, a mammal of the genus Giant Panda. There are only two subspecies. Males are slightly older than females. Fat as a bear, plump and rich, with a round head and a short tail. Head and body length 1.2- 1.8m, tail length 10- 12cm. The weight is 80- 120kg, and the maximum weight can reach 180kg. The body color is black and white, the cheeks are round, there are big "dark circles", the iconic inner eight-character walking, and claws as sharp as scalpels. The skin of giant pandas is relatively thick, and the thickest part can reach10 mm.
The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forests and trees on the snow-covered ground, which is not easy to be found by natural enemies. Living in a dense bamboo forest at an altitude of 2600-3500 meters, the air here is thin and foggy all the year round, and the temperature is below 20℃. There are a lot of bamboos here, and the distribution of topography and water sources is conducive to the species to nest, hide and feed its young.
