熊猫吃东西时，经常直着身子盘腿而坐，前爪抓住嘴里送，他爱吃新鲜的竹叶，竹茎，还有牛奶和鸡蛋。熊猫吃饱 了还得喝水润润喉龙。他来到水池边，伏下身子，双手靠着池边低下头，他来到水池边，伏下身子，双手靠着池边，低下头，咕咚咕咚的喝起来，看那副模样，真使人发笑。

Panda is known as the national treasure of China. The panda was a kind of ordinary animal in China long ago. However, for some reasons, too many of them have been killed. So the number of them is falling quickly.

At present people are taking an important measure to save pandas. People want to find a home for them, and recently, they have set up a nature park for them in Sichuan Province,which is called "Pandas Home. "There pandas can enjoy their life happily. There is a bamboo forest near the Pandas Home. So the pandas can find bamboos easily which they like to eat very much.

Because pandas are well protected now, the number of them is increasing every year. We hope that one day we will have enough pandas to set them free and let them live in the wild again.

Pandas are good friends of man. Man should try to protect them and ]et them live in the way they like!

The giant panda is a special product of our country. It is a lovely small animal and very pleasing. The giant panda can be described as a perfect vegetarian. Giant pandas like to eat bamboo shoots, but they also eat bamboo, roots and flowers. The cute face, plus a black and white sweater, looks very lovely. Pandas are the most popular animals for girls.

The giant panda is not active in high places, generally living on land, contrary to squirrels. The giant panda is solitary and likes to live alone and often has no fixed residence because of changing seasons. In the spring, it usually stays in the high mountain bamboo forest of more than 3000 meters. In the summer, we move to the shady slopes of bamboo shoots. Autumn moves to the slopes of xiangyang to prepare for the winter.

Giant pandas are fat and stout. The head is round, the ear is small, the kiss is short and the tail is short. The white face was black with a black kiss and eye ring, and a black strap stretched from the shoulders to the entire front, like a black and white coat.

The giant panda is about 1.5 meters long and weighs 160kg, and its black-and-white body hair is characteristic of pandas. Giant pandas eat more than 10 to 12 hours a day and eat 15 to 20 kilograms of food a day. People have cut off most of their bamboo forests for agricultural development, and there are now bamboo places that can only feed two to 36 giant pandas, and the giant panda is listed on the national list of protected animals.

Do you know how pandas digest bamboo? Researchers have found that the giant pandas digestive tract is short and simple, and there is no such thing as a long, plant-eating animal with a thin gut and a complex stomach or a developed cecum. In addition, the giant pandas genome sequences announced in 2009, after they found the giant panda to the lack of some help in the digestive tract herbivores digest cellulose and hemicellulose (they are the main components of the fibrous plant diet) enzymes. This is confusing for researchers, and how does the lack of these necessary conditions digest bamboo?

Researchers use of gene sequencing technology, analysis of more than 5000 ribosomal RNA sequences, eventually in the giant panda, found a variety of digestive tract bacteria and some microbes are very similar to grazing animals. These help animals digest cellulose in their bodies, and seven of them are unique to the pandas digestive tract. Bye bye!

导语：动物是人类的朋友，可是每天都有着很多的动物被人类消灭，但是这依然动摇不了我们保护小动物的决心，下面和小编一起来看看动物英语作文：熊猫。希望对大家有所帮助。

The giant panda （Ailuropoda melanoleuca） （"black-and-white cat-foot"） is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wildand over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China（another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221）， with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg （253 pounds）。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg （220 pounds）。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.[citation needed]

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

[edit] Diet

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.
