it's all about PANDA'S?

Pandas bears are my all time favorite animal. They are beautiful with their black and white fur, look so fluffy and adorable, and are just so cute! Sadly the area they live in has been decreased by great amounts. It is also considered endangered :(. Poor pandas!
They can be any where from about 4- 6 feet tall and weigh about 154-275 lbs. Strangely, pandas are mainly vegetarians and rarely eat meet. Their diet consists of mainly bamboo and sometimes other plants. Since the panda bear is a ,in fact, a bear, it has a carnivore digestive system and only digests very little of the bamboo it eats. An adult giant panda therefore needs to spend most of it's waking hours feeding and must consume between 20-40 lbs. of food a day to get enough energy.
The giant panda is currently restricted to six separate mountain ranges in western China, on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, and in the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan.
The panda also does not hibernate during the winter months like most bears. They move to a lower elevation where the weather is nicer.

The female giant panda usually give birth to a single cub between July and September. The pregnancy period is highly variable, ranging from around 3-6 months, but this is due to a  delay between fertilisation and implantation, and the true pregnancy length is closer to about 1 and a half months. Although twins are sometimes born, the female rarely raises more than one of the cubs . The young giant panda is born at an extremely immature stage of development, weighing only a tiny fraction of the female’s weight .

The giant panda cub is helpless after birth, and for the first few weeks of its life the female cares for it in a den located in the base of a hollow tree or in a cave. After four to seven weeks, the young panda is carried by the female to travel. When the baby panda is about 5-6 months old, it can move around by itself, but stays dependant on it's mom until at least 18 months. Female giant pandas usually give birth only once every two years. The giant panda reaches sexual maturity at around 5.5 to 6.5 years old, and may live for around 14 to 30 years in the wild.

Panda's might have thumbs in the future too. They have a "pseudo thumb". An elongated and enlarged wrist bone covered with thick fleshy skin to help them grip the bamboo and eat.
