    The Panda




    Giant Panda


    Species Name: Ailuropoda melanoleuca
    Common Name: Panda Bear
    Group Name: Embarrassment
    Domain: Eukarya (Eukaryote)
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Subphylum: Vertebrata
    Class: Mammalia
    Order: Carnivora
    Suborder: Caniformia
    Infraorder: Arctoidea
    Family: Ursidae
    Genus: Ailuropoda

    It is believed that Pandas roamed the earth as early as three million years ago.
    Before 1936, Pandas were relatively unknown to most of the world outside of China.
    There were believed to be two main types of Pandas – the Giant Black-and-White Panda and the Red Panda.
    Zoologists debate about whether Pandas are Bears or Raccoons. They share some bear traits, and also have some Raccoon traits.Seems thou they now know that the Giant Panda is originally from the Bear family, while the Red Panda was not.
    The Giant Panda is the only member of the genus Ailuropoda because it is not very closely related to any other bears.
    An adult Giant Panda can grow as tall as five feet and they can weigh as much as 350 pounds.
    In the wild, a Panda’s diet consists mostly of bamboo shoots which is about 99% of their diet.
    They also tend to eat other grasses as well as small rodents.
    Pandas typically prefer to be alone. Giant Pandas cannot compete with each other for food and resources, it takes too much energy.
    There are tales from ancient China of the Panda being the symbol of peace.

    Nothing more can be done now, except maybe a bit of a rest.

    This Just In !!


    We all may have thought that Pandas do not get highly active, as reports have told us over the years, especially when it comes to a Panda's territories and their habits.
    BUT we were very wrong.
    These Giants can get very active ... but mostly only when it comes the the finer of the sexes

    The year was 2020 ...

    After three years tracking pandas through China's Qinling Mountains, filmmakers caught two male bears vying for the attention of a female. This is the first time this courtship behavior has been captured on film. The two males squared off at the foot of a tree, fighting and bellowing while the female sat in the branches above.
    The older of the males won this initial skirmish, but when the female clambered down, she managed to slip away
    Both males continued to trail the female for several weeks until, finally, the younger male won out.
    "The illusion of freedom will continue for as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
    - Frank Zappa
