There are two different types of panda, the giant panda is the most well known one but the red panda also lives in the mountains in China. The red panda looks like a raccoon with a long tail and is the same size as a cat. The giant panda is much bigger and has black and white fur. Both the red and giant pandas are excellent at climbing and have long sharp claws that can also be used for stripping bamboo. Pandas are very fussy eaters. Most pandas only eat bamboo, a type of grass that grows in the mountainous areas of China. To get enough energy from the bamboo they eat, an adult panda will eat up to half a ton of bamboo a day. That is over half the weight of their body!

Pandas spend most of their time eating or sleeping. Young pandas like to play with each other and can be very naughty! There are not many pandas left in the wild and they are a symbol for animal conservation all around the world. Many zoos and wildlife parks are trying to breed more pandas to save them from extinction.
