Animal of the Week: Giant Panda

By -
This is a drawing of a panda that was drawn by Mei Makes.

Fast Facts: 

    A giant panda is bear that is black and white. It lives in a few mountain ranges in south central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. 99% of a giant panda's diet is bamboo. Giant panda adults can eat 12-38 kilograms of bamboo in one day! That means they can eat up to 266 kilograms of bamboo in a week. They occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form birds, rodents or carrion. Did you know that newborn baby pandas are pink and often as small as a hotdog. Giant pandas do certainly live up to their name. They can be 4-6 feet tall, which as tall as many adult humans. They sleep for about ten hours a day. Female pandas can weigh 150-220 pounds and average males weigh 220-254 pounds. Bamboo is high in fiber but doesn't have that much nutrients. That's one of the reasons why they have to eat so much bamboo.

Giant Panda Poem: 

Having a crunch and a munch, 
First one and then two,
Oh, how bamboo sure tastes good!

Giant Panda Jokes:

Q: Why did the panda want to watch Bambi?
A: Because it sounded like bamboo.

Q: Why don't giant pandas care when they get bamboozled?
A: Bamboo always makes them happy!!!

Q: Why do giant pandas always cook with pans and not pots?
A: Because it would be a disgrace for a PAN-da!!!

Q: What do ants and giant pandas have in common?
A: They are both ants, since it is a gi-ANT panda.

Make sure to come back next week, so that you can see more animals!!!

You might find the help you need in the step by step instructions down below. These are the words that are meant to go with the video.

This is created by An Makes and Mei Makes. *Disclaimer*: This is a work of fiction. Some events may be based on real life, but some events are made up.       The next morning all the kids were unusually quiet. We all knew that our great uncle had been telling the truth. We also remembered the sticky thing dropping on my head. We had not decided whether to tell the grownups or not, about our investigation. That's why we were all so quiet.  "Are you okay?" Ye Ye said.     We all just nodded our heads and Ava asked Ye Ye if we could all be excused. Ye Ye agreed and we all headed out to Clara's and my room to decide whether we should tell them or not. We got there. And then Hayden asked what was going on because he was confused.     "What's going on? We are deciding whether we should tell the adults what we saw and heard or not." Ava said.     "Oh. I think we should tell the parents and other adults." Hayden said.     "I second that notion. We
