a panda eats about 11 kg - the most delicious parts. However, among the parts, about
10kg undigested(未消化的) bamboo passes through pandas' bodies to become poo.
The center is home to 270 pandas. In the past, after keepers cleared all the poo and
uneaten bamboo, the center would ask some workers to take the material away. Now.
the papermaking factory sends people to deal with the waste every three to seven days.

very popular. However, the paper products named "Shanqiu panda poo" made by this factory are
sold well. although its price is high.

up in the "V" shape. It stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the
