- A giant panda is much bigger than your teddy bear.
Giant panda looks cuddly and cute when you search photos on the internet. But it’s much bigger than you think.
Adults measure around 1.2 to 1.9 metres (3 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 3 inches) long, including a tail of about 10–15 cm (4–6 in), and 60 to 90 cm (24 to 35 in) tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 160 kg (350 lb). Females (generally 10–20% smaller than males) can weigh as little as 70 kg (150 lb), but can also weigh up to 125 kg (276 lb). Average adult weight is 100 to 115 kg (220 to 254 lb).
- 大熊貓比玩具熊大很多
當您在互聯網上搜索照片時，大熊貓看起來既可愛又可愛。但這比您想像的要大得多。
成年熊貓長約1.2至1.9米，包括一條約10–15厘米的尾巴，尾巴高60至90厘米。雄性熊貓體重可達160公斤 (350磅)。女性重達70公斤(150磅)，但也可以重達125公斤(276磅)。成年熊貓的平均體重為100到115公斤(220到254磅)。
- Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and can also swim.
Giant pandas can’t stand and do kung fu moves like Po in Kungfu Panda. But they are good tree climbers. They can climb trees from 7 months old.
Giant pandas are bears, and like other bears, they can swim.
- 大熊貓會游泳嗎？
雖然大熊貓的身體圓圓的，但其實牠們十分敏捷，大熊貓從半歲左右就開始爬樹。有人說會游泳會功夫還會燒香只是「功夫熊貓」的橋段，亦有說熊貓有很厚的脂肪，就算丟到海中也會浮起來。其實，大熊貓是會游泳的。
大熊貓是具有涉水和泅渡的能力，在四川青川曾發現大熊貓橫渡白水江到彼岸的姚渡，在臥龍亦有發現大熊貓渡過水流湍急的皮條河。所以，這証明大熊貓不但是會游泳的，而且泳術也十分之不錯。
- Pandas go from pink to white and black (or brown).
Pandas are born looking like baby badgers — fur-less, pink, and blind. The iconic black and white colour comes later, after about three weeks.
Not all giant pandas are black and white! A few are brown and white, but these are very rare.
- 大熊貓並不是一出生就黑白的
實際上，大熊貓剛出生的時候並非「黑白分明」，而是全身粉肉色、毛髮稀疏的「小肉球」，慢慢長大後才身披黑白外套，而且並非所有大熊貓都是黑色，有少數較為罕有的是棕色和白色的。
有影片揭示大熊貓從剛出生到100天的變化，影片記錄了兩隻大熊貓寶寶出生以後的成長過程，從最初體型嬌小、全身肉色，慢慢長大成黑白分明、毛髮豐富，不少網友更戲言「事實證明，睡得越多，黑眼圈越重」。
- Pandas are “lazy” — eating and sleeping make their day.
As about all a panda does all day is eat and sleep, you are best to get up early for a visit to a panda park, so you see them when they are active.
One reason for pandas being rare is that breeding is not high on their list of priorities. And with only a one-day window a year for a female to conceive naturally, it is hardly surprising that pandas are an endangered species.
- 大熊貓一天就幹着兩件事情：吃飯和睡覺。
在熊貓的一生中，牠們花了55%的生命周期收集、準備和吃竹子，其餘時間都是在睡覺，牠們幾乎是吃飯和睡覺交替銜接。熊貓稀少的其中一個原因就是因為繁育工作不在其優先事項之列，因此熊貓是瀕臨滅絕的物種也不足為奇。
- An adult can eat 11-40 kilos of bamboo per day!
A 45-kilo adult (and pandas can reach 150 kg in captivity) spends as long as 14 hours eating. And it can eat 11 to 40 kilos of bamboo a day.
- 大熊貓一天可以吃11-40公斤的竹
春季大熊貓以新竹筍為食，在這個季節的食量也最大，一般日取食30-60公斤，平均40公斤。到了夏季，食物變成以竹莖為主，還兼食一些較老的竹筍和新發的幼枝葉。秋季，是當年幼枝葉最繁茂時期，他們的以食枝葉為主。這時的嫩枝幼葉營養成分居竹的其他部分之首，而所含的粗纖維又低於竹莖。因此，在這個季節大熊貓每天只需採食11-13公斤，而且活動範圍達到一年中最小，也節省了活動消耗的能量。
