=PAGE 1 INTRODUCTION= Hi my name is Rosa Rodriguez and I will be your narrator for the day. I will inform you about pandas and how they live. the topics I am going to talk about are about where they come from, what they eat, what different types are there,what they represent, and so on and so on. The reason why I chose pandas was because I think they are so exciting and I whene you read this report I hope you find pandas as exciting I do so lets get started. tree's,ferns,flowers,shrubs,and bamboo.Pandas like to be there because of the nice refreshing waterfalls that are near the mountains,but because of the waterfalls the panda's habitat are always foggy and really wet.That is ok for the pandas because they like to be nice and wet

=PAGE 2 WHERE DO PANDAS COME FROM?= Pandas come from all kinds of places,but most panda's come from china.Not all of china there is only some parts of china that panda's live in.They don't live in all of china anymore because people are cutting down there bamboo that they use to eat.So they are almost becoming extinct in the world.That is why there are three pandas at the zoo to be tooken care of.Anyway lets get back to where panda's live.So panda's live in the south western of china.A panda does not live alone it shares his habitat with pheasants,monkeys,bamboo rats,squirrels,takins,and all kinds of snakes.There habitat looks like paradise because of the waterfalls and the deep green forest.The scientist found out by investigating that there is 1,700 different kinds of plants in one forest where panda's live.

=PAGE 3 WHAT DO PANDA'S EAT?= What do panda's eat ?Well panda's do eat bamboo.They eat the leaves,roots,and shoot's of bamboo plants.That is not all they eat they also eat insects,fish,small animals,and even birds.I know poor birds.I feel really sad for the birds,but lets not stop and let's move on.There are different kind of bamboo that grow in china,but the panda's favorite kinds of bamboo are called arrow bamboo and umbrella bamboo.The panda's are almost extinct because of people cutting down there bamboo. Whene one of the bamboo dies off then the panda will usually find another kind of bamboo to eat.Write now there are three panda's in the zoo to be tooken care of.

=PAGE 4 ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PANDA'S?= There are in deed different kinds of panda's that live in china.For example there is one that is called the bamboo bear.That is not really the bears name,it's real name is giant panda.The name that it has now is bamboo bear because the chineses gave it that nickname because it eat's so much bamboo.A bamboo bear has strong teeth to cut through bamboo stems that are thick as a man's leg.A bamboo bear also has a tough lining so the panda isn't hurt by bamboo splinters.A giant panda uses it's wrist bone to hold a stalk of bamboo.Did you know that panda's don't have thumbs,but each of the giant panda's front paws has a special extra finger.The extra figer is really part of the panda's wrist bone.

PAGE 5 PANDA FAMILIES
Where pandas come from baby panda's are called cubs like any other kinds of bear's.Panda cubs are usally born in september,and they are born in safe places like a place called a den.To them a den is a small cave or a space under a tree.If a mother panda has two cubs at one time it will only take of one of the cubs.A new born panda weigh's just three to five ounces which is less than how a basket ball weigh's.The cubs fur grows quickly,and within four weeks the cub will already have black and white fur likes it's mother.Also the cubs eyes start to open it's eyes whene it's six to nine weeks.Whene the cub is about six weeks old the cub and the mom of the cub it leaves the den.Then whene the cub is two years old it can go on it's own.

PAGE 6 PROBLEMS FOR PANDA'S
Some problems for pandas are animals like leopards, black bears, and large weasels that kill's baby pandas.The adult panda's don't get hurt because these animals are small compared to the adult pandas.These wild animals are not a problem for panda's ,but people are because people want to kill them.People who kill wild animals are called poachers,but that is against the law to kill wild animals.These things they are selling like panda bones and body parts get a large amount of money for selling that.Legal hunters set up traps for animals,but by mistake they trap panda's instead even though they don't mean to catch them.The biggest promblem about panda's is that china has many people.All of china's people need more places to live,and they have to take panda's space to build there house.

PAGE 7 HOW DO PANDA'S TALK?
Panda's don't talk like we do they stomp and make noise's to show how they feel.If they stomp they are showing they are angry. When they make noises they are showing that they feel unprotected and if they are about to attack. When they are huging they show friendship. Most bears roar and growl but giant pandas whine and make bleating noises.When they whine they show that they are anrgy and have no more patients. But when they make blesting nosies they show that they are being surrounded by enemies.

PAGE 8 WHAT IS A BAMBOO BEAR?
A bamboo bear is a giant panda. A giant panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo. Bamboo is not rich in vitamies but they need to stay health and eat a lot of bamboo. It may spend as many as 16 hours each day eating bamboo. After a bamboo plant grows flowers it dies so all of the plants of one kind of bamboo die at the same time. When one kind of bamboo dies off giant pandas can usually find another kind of bamboo to eat.So basically a bamboo bear is a bear that is a bigger verson of apanda.
