Test – 7

If you walk through the forests of China, you may come across a cute looking bear. It is called panda
bear. People love panda bears because they look like big playful clowns. There are laws to protect these
cute bears.
Panda bears are a fairly large animal. How do pandas get so big? They probably spend 10 to 16
hours of a day for eating. Bamboo is a large part of a panda’s diet.. Pandas grasp bamboo stalks with
their five fingers and a special wrist bone, then use their teeth to peel off the tough outer layers to reveal
the soft inner tissue. Strong jaw bones and cheek muscles help pandas crush and chew the thick stalks
with their flattened back teeth. Because they eat mostly plants they are considered to be a herbivore. The
pandas that are found in zoos eat sugar cane, carrots, apples and other food eaten by humans.
When a panda bear is not eating, it is either sleeping or playing. Any person would love to have a
life like that. Panda bears tend to live alone when they are in the wild. They do sometimes get together,
usually for breeding purposes. When they are together they communicate through special noises or calls.
