EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! These adorable giant pandas are striking a pose in their natural habitat, the temperate bamboo forests of China. With less than 1000 animals remaining in the wild, they're truly a sight to behold and protect. Even the death penalty can't stop people from hunting them, but it's mostly habitat loss that puts these cuties at risk. Did you know that these fluffy creatures have quite an appetite? They chow down on about 45 pounds of bamboo every day, along with some mosses, fungi, and even small rodents. Talk about being foodies! Males weigh in at a hefty 85-125kgs while females range from 70-100kgs. In the wild, they live for around 10-15 years but can reach up to 30 years in captivity. Watch out though - leopards are their natural predators! This amazing photo was captured by Pete Oxford at the Wolong China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas within Wolong Reserve. Located in Sichuan Province, this center is dedicated to preserving and studying these magnificent creatures. So next time you need a smile or want to learn more about endangered species like our panda pals here - just take a look at this print!
