A Grade 7 Science Project About Pandas
H.G.Bernard Public School 245 Bernard Avenue Richmond Hill, Ontario L4S 1E1 Thursday, March 3, 2011 Mr. World and Mrs. World 3 Solar System Blvd. Milky Way, Universe

Dear Mr. and Mrs. World, Hello! My name is Judy. I’m a grade seven student from a school called H.G.Bernard Public School. I’m writing to you about what we can do to help the endangered species. As you may know, human activities in the last few decades have put many species of animals in danger. I have recently done a research on one species of endangered animals, giant pandas.

Giant pandas are one the rarest mammals in the world. Most of them live in the bamboo forests on the mountains of middle China They eat bamboo leaves and bamboo stems, sometimes (if possible) they eat flowers and metals for snack (rarely). Giant pandas prefer to live alone, they rarely share territories although some don’t have its own territory. They are independent animals. They spend most of their time eating because bamboo doesn’t provide enough calories in order for pandas to survive. This is also the reason why giant pandas “work overtime” during winters. Giant pandas looks slow and clumsy but they are very strong and its claws are super sharp, they also have 42 strong teeth to chew hard bamboos. Adult pandas can add to 350 pounds and measure five and a half feet when it stands up. Giant pandas have weak eyesight but extremely good hearing and smelling. Giant pandas have thick furs to protect them from thorns, the oily liquid on the thick fur make it waterproof, and they also have black furs around their eyes to protect them from the reflection of the sun. During summers, giant pandas mostly feed on bamboo leaves and the rest of the year, they also eat

    Sloths are cool and interesting animals. They are excellent climbers; in fact, they learn to climb from their parents. they also learn what food to eat by watching their mother eat. Sloths don’t really learn anything (except climbing and what to eat) from their parents because they, well, don’t really do anything. Pretty much all sloths do is eat, sleep, and hang upside down.…

    In the novel Endangered by Lamar Giles, the main character Lauren, also known as “Panda” acts quite different than others. Lauren has a reputation of being invisible and unnoticed. What many do not know though is that she practices this behavior on purpose. By day she is known as the “hallway ghost” but by night she is the great author of Gray Scales, a popular magazine created to expose those who have wronged others. I think Panda acts quiet and shy on purpose because she wants to keep herself unsuspected from being the author of Gray Scales. If she were to be discovered she will surely never be accepted because of all the people she has humiliated with her breathtaking photography skills. Therefore I conclude, Panda avoids unwanted attention…

    It seems that red pandas eat on the ground. the red panda may live alone, in pairs, or in family groups. Red pandas primarily eat bamboo leaves and fresh shoots, as well as berries, blossoms, bird eggs, and various plants' small leaves.

The litters generally contain one or two young that are born in spring after a gestation period of about 130 days. The animal is gentle and easily tamed but usually resents being handled.

    That adds to 28 pounds a day. But one reason they eat so much is that bamboo is low in nutrients, according to the San Diego Zoo. Giant pandas also eat rodents, fish, insects and birds. Eating both vegetation and meat makes these pandas omnivores (2). For Sloth bears, as animals who consume termites and ants, sloth bears are considered myrmecophagous.…

    Because of a inefficient intestinal system the Panda must feed for 12 to 16 hours a day, they can consume 22 to 40 pounds of Bamboo each day. When they eat fresh Bamboo shoots they eat about 84 pounds every day. Giant pandas are one of the four bear species who do not hibernate. The reasons for this are twofold. First, the natural food source of these bears is not sufficiently high in calories and protein to allow them to put on sufficient fat resources to last a lengthy period of hibernation. Second, they live in a habitat zone where food is available on a year round…

    The Not so Red Panda

    • 748 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Red Panda, much like the Giant Panda, relies heavily upon bamboo for its diet, but due to destruction of their habitat, bamboo is not always an option. In addition to that the Red Panda will only eat the youngest and most tender shoots and leaves, also chewing it thoroughly where the giant panda barely chews at all. Red Pandas also have a small, bony projection on their wrists that helps them grip bamboo stalks. The Red Panda actually slows its metabolism rate when no bamboo can be found for survival and in cold weather. When in times of need, the Red Panda will scavenge for fruits and hunt insects and small mammals (Mcdonald 14). Red pandas are also the only known mammal to be able to taste artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame. The Red Panda spends the majority of its day, approximately 13 hours, foraging around for food. The female, being the more dominant of the species, must eat 30% of its body weight and up to 200,000 bamboo leaves a day due to slow metabolism (Delaney, Cameron).…

Then until now, Panda always walk along with us wherever we go because it doesn’t want to stay alone. The second thing is eating habit. When it was a puppy, it ate everything include flower, leaf, and wood, whereas now it chooses things to eat rather than eat everything such…
