2, living in the dense bamboo forest at an altitude of 2600-3500 meters, where the air is thin and cloudy all year round, and the temperature is below 20℃. There is plenty of bamboo, and the distribution of terrain and water sources is conducive for the species to build nests and hide and feed their young. Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and love to play. The act of climbing trees is usually a way of avoiding the stronger one by the weaker one when they meet each other near the courtship period, or to escape from danger. Giant pandas spend half of their day eating, and the remaining half of their day sleeping. In the wild, pandas sleep for two to four hours between meals. 99% of the food for pandas is bamboo, and there are 12 genera and more than 60 species of bamboo plants available for pandas to eat***. The lifespan of giant pandas in the wild is 18-20 years old, and can be more than 30 years old in captivity.
