Panda

WELCOME BACK FRIENDS!


Topic of today is black and white and super adorable.

Can you guess what it is without looking at the title you just clicked?

No it's not penguins we did that already

Look it's not a zebra either we can do that another time

You guessed it, it's a Panda!



Habitat: Where Can You Find These Beautiful Bears? 

The giant panda, also known as a panda bear or panda, is a bear which inhabits remote, mountainous regions of central China, in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. These areas are cool, wet forests which provide appropriate sustenance for the needs of giant panda's.

Diet:

Panda's are always hungry! Despite popular belief of panda's only eating bamboo. Which they do eat 12 hours a day. Eating up to 12.5 kg of bamboo each day, according to National Geographic. One reason they eat so much is that bamboo is because of the low nutrients provided by the bamboo.

However, they also feed on rodents, fish, insects and birds. Making panda's omnivores, devouring both vegetation and meat.

If that was scary to read watch this to bring up your spirits:




Save The Panda's!

A survey in 2002 indicated a total population of about 1,600 individuals. 

As of 2008, there was estimated to be less than 2,500 mature giant pandas in the wild. Which is a scarily low number.

With panda's being endangered conservational action was taken with the National Geographic estimating that 100 giant pandas live in zoos. 

There are 50 panda reserves in China that protect around 45 percent of the giant panda's habitat, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Thankfully just recently in 2016, the IUCN has reclassified the species from "endangered" to "vulnerable".

But why? Now I know what you're thinking. Out of all the beautiful, majestic and stunning animals of this world.  Why a Blobfish?  The Blobfish has been a severely under appreciated animal. This is probably because of how hideous this poor little creature is.  "But Animals5 that image above is so adorable and cute, how could you possibly call it ugly?" M O V I N G   O N

Last animals' blog

LAST BLOG WITH YOU ALL! 🙀 We hope you have all enjoyed our animal posts and learnt some things along the way! 😄 Our whole group has evenly contributed to writing the blog posts. Hanying, Qiannuo, Anton and Dianne all went to the zoo in order to grab some great animal footage video for our 'Animal' theme content. Hugo was unable to attend our zoo trip, however we had some moral support from him. We organised a meeting where we gathered to contribute our ideas, edit and sort the videos into the wanted order etc. We made a fun (and hilarious) video on Youtube for you to watch! Check it out here below before we part our ways :) FAREWELL FELLOW ANIMAL FRIENDS! 44622708 Dianne Vuong 45381399 Anton Kwong 44872364 Hanying Zhang 44186819 Qiannuo Zhang 44915853 Li Cheng Chuang

Sloth

About Sloths Sloths are small sized mammals, with round heads, and short snouts, small eyes and long legs. Sloths have coarse fur that is light brown in color, but often appears green due to the blue-green algae that grow there. Instead of toes, their front and hind feet have three curved claws that allow them to easily hook onto tree branches and hang upside-down.  Fun facts - Sloths can rotate their heads nearly 90 degrees,  - Their mouths are shaped so they look like they are always smiling.  - Males are distinguishable from females because they usually have a bright yellow or orange patch of fur located between their shoulders. Slow and Steady The sloth is renowned to be the slowest-moving animal on earth! They can swim but are virtually unable to walk. This makes them an easy target for predators who hunt sloths for meat. Ritual defecation is the sloth equivalent of speed dating, just without the speed. This unfortunately puts them at ri...
