Pandas are lovely animals．Most of them live in the deep forests of Sichuan Province in China．They have white fur（皮毛）, though their shoulders, legs, ears and eyes are black．Pandas are usually very heavy．Some of them can be about 1.5 meters tall and weigh about 100 kilos．However, pandas are very agile（灵巧）．They can climb trees as easily as some other animals do．

Pandas live mainly on bamboo leaves．They have big and sharp（锋利的）teeth．Every day each grown-up panda eats about 15-30 kilos of bamboo leaves．And they usually spend 10-20 hours eating．Pandas also have free time hobbies．Two of their hobbies are climbing trees and sleeping．Sadly, there are not many pandas left in the world．That's because some people keep cutting down trees, and some bad hunters（猎人）are trying to kill them for money．This is why the Chinese government is doing its best to protect pandas against being hurt and killed．

As China’s national treasure，giant pandas are deeply loved by people．Almost all of pandas live in Sichuan Province in Southwest China．Pandas there are well—protected，especially baby pandas．Before the birth of a baby panda，the mother panda will find a cave and make it into a den with bamboo．The mother panda will give birth to the baby panda in September and later the den will become a room for the young baby．The mother panda will try her best to keep the den quite clean．For the first three weeks，the mother will hold her baby．After two weeks the colors(white and black) on the baby panda’s body will be clear．However，the baby won’t be able to go out alone until it is 3 months old．

A young panda starts to eat soft bamboo shoots by the time it is about six months old. Pandas’ food is mainly made up of bamboo．As time goes by，the little panda will go out for food with its mother．By this time，the baby is much bigger．The next spring，the little panda is really free from its mother and begins to live its own life．Usually pandas live to be 12—14 years old．In fact，it is hard to keep a young panda alive before it is old enough to live by itself．Nowadays the number of giant pandas is smaller than 1，000．
