The giant panda is a rare animal unique to China and the most famous endangered animal in the world. Giant pandas are called "tapirs" in China ancient books. More than two thousand years ago, in the book Erya in the early Han Dynasty, it was recorded that "tapirs are black and reject bamboo". Sima Xiangru, a famous writer in Han Dynasty, listed nearly 40 rare animals raised in Shanglinyuan, Xianyang at that time, and the giant panda ranked first, which shows that the giant panda was regarded as a precious and famous animal at that time.
The giant panda has a plump figure, stout limbs, short bald tail, strange coat color, milky white head, black limbs and shoulders, neat black ears and two black eyes on its head, much like wearing a pair of figure-eight black-rimmed glasses. Giant pandas are handsome and gentle, giving people an elegant and lively feeling.
Behavioral characteristics of giant pandas
Giant pandas spend half their eating time every day, and most of the rest time in sleep. In the wild, giant pandas sleep for 2-4 hours between meals. Lying flat, lying on the side, prone, stretching or curling are their favorite sleep styles. In the zoo, the keepers feed them regularly, twice a day, so the pandas spend the rest of their time resting.
Giant pandas look cute even when they sleep. They are very flexible and can put their heavy bodies in various positions. My favorite posture is to support my legs on a tree and cover my eyes with my hands.
