Physical Descirption

Adults measure around 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft) long, including a tail of

about 13 cm (5.1 in), and 60 to 90 cm (2.0 to 3.0 ft)

tall at the shoulder.Males can weigh up to

160 kg (350 lb). Females (generally 10–20% smaller than males) can weigh as little as 75 kg (170 lb), but

can also weigh up to 125 kg (280 lb).

Average adult weight is 100 to 115 kg (220 to 250 lb).

BehaviorGiant pandas are generally

solitary, and each adult has a defined territory, and a female is not tolerant of

other females in her range

The giant panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spends its life

roaming and feeding in the bamboo forests of the Qinling

Mountains and in the hilly Sichuan Province

Pandas communicate through vocalization and scent marking

such as clawing trees or spraying urine.

Though the panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been

known to attack humans, presumably out of

irritation rather than aggression

Diet

The giant panda's diet is

primarily herbivorous, consisting almost

exclusively of bamboo

The average giant panda eats as much as 9 to 14 kg

(20 to 30 lb) of bamboo shoots a day

Genomics

The giant panda genome was sequenced in 2009 using a

next-generation sequencing technology. Its genome

contains 20  pairs of autosomes and one pair of

sex chromosomes.

Breeding

Giant pandas reach sexual maturity between the ages of four and eight, and may be reproductive until age 20.

The mating season is between March and May, when a female goes into estrus, which lasts for two or three days and only occurs once a year. When mating, the female is in a crouching, head-down position as the male mounts her from behind. Copulation time is short, ranging from 30 seconds to five minutes, but the male may mount her

repeatedly to ensure successful fertilization. The gestation period ranges from 95 to 160 days

Predators

The giant pandas predators are Wild

Dogs ,Jaguars, Humans

and Leopards.
