Field Notes
Description:
I got this picture in Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington DC. It was fun seeing all those panda's and was around the size of an American black bear. I think the estimate weight of this panda was 220 pounds
Habitat:
Giant pandas live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo, at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. Torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year characterizes these forests, often shrouded in heavy clouds.
Notes:
Adult giant pandas are generally solitary, but they do communicate periodically through scent marks, calls, and occasional meetings. Offspring stay with their mothers from one and a half to three years.
