Domain: Eukarya
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Ursidae
Genus: Ailuropoda
Species: melanoleuca

4. INTERESTING FACTS
A wild giant panda’s diet is almost

exclusively bamboo (99%).
They have large molar teeth and

strong molar muscles for crushing
tough bamboo.
They usually eat while sitting

upright. They spend the rest of the
day resting, feeding and seeking
food.
Fortunately no more natural

predators exist for pandas today.

5. NOT SO FUN FACTS
They once lived in lowland areas, but

farming, forest clearing and other developments
restrict them to the mountains of China.
They are considered endangered.

There are only 1600 left in the wild. More than 160

are in the zoos and breeding centers.
Chinese scientists have reported zoo pandas as old

as 35. They are sure that they live shorter in the
wild
Giant pandas have been hunted for their fur.

Research on any organism (plant, animal, bacteria,

virus, fungi or algae)
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation

rjggarcia@yahoo.com for evaluation
On a bond paper, make a short article on your
