i need to know something describethe giant pandas habitat
Could someone describe the giant pandas habitat?spyware
The natural habitat of the giant panda is cool, wet, cloudy mountain forest land where bamboo grows. Giant pandas are found in mixed deciduous/evergreen temperate forests, between 3,000 and 10,500 feet (900-3,200 m) in altitude (below the timberline). Pandas used to also live at lower altitudes, but farming and land development have pushed the pandas high into the mountains.
The giant panda occurs in montane forests with dense stands of bamboo at altitudes of 2700 - 3900 m (8850 - 12,800'). It may descend to as low as 800 m (2600') during winter (usually not below 1200 - 1300 m (3900 - 4300') because of man's impact on its habitat) to reach warmer temperatures.
The giant panda is one of the species that live in both the Mountains of Southwest China Biodiversity Hotspot and the Central China Temperate Forests
