Giant pandas spend half of their eating time every day, and most of the rest time is spent in their sleep. In the wild, giant pandas sleep for 2-4 hours between meals. Lying flat, lying on one side, prone, stretching or curling up are their favorite sleeping methods. In the zoo, the keepers feed them regularly twice a day, so the pandas spend the rest of their time resting.

The giant panda looks cute even when sleeping. They are very flexible and can put their heavy bodies into various postures. My favorite posture is to support my legs on a tree and cover my eyes with my hands.

eating habits

The feeding habit of the giant panda is one of its most peculiar and interesting habits, because it lives almost entirely by eating bamboo. Among more than 50 kinds of plants naturally ingested in the wild, bamboo accounts for more than half, and accounts for 99% of the annual food intake, among which seven species like Fargesia gigantea and Fargesia gigantea are the favorite.

Extended data

As a model of endangered species protection in the world, the giant panda has gradually formed irreplaceable cultural value in the historical process of biodiversity protection. As an ancient species with a history of 8 million years, many iconic species of its contemporaries no longer exist, and people can get more scientific cognition and even philosophical thinking from it. It is not only a specific natural species, but also an important part of human culture.
