Pandas: China’s Treasure
Pandas are one of the most popular animals in the world. They are only found in China. Pandas have black and white fur, round faces, and cute black patches around their eyes.
Pandas mainly eat bamboo. They spend about 12 hours a day eating bamboo. Because bamboo doesn’t have much nutrition, pandas need to eat a lot. Their living places are in the forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. But people cut down too many bamboo forests, so pandas are in danger.
