Topic 2:Classification on animals and plants I also researched deeper into the Giant Panda. Although it is not known why, scientists believe the Giant Panda creates a camouflage suiting it's current environment, the snowy mountaintops. To crush the tough bamboos, the Giant Panda has large molars and strong jaw muscles.
Though they are thought to be cute, they are as dangerous as any other bear. Despite eating a plant that is 50% water, Giant Pandas still have to go to mountain rivers and stream to get water fed by melting snowfall. Although male and female pandas meet up only during the mating/breeding season, recent studies have shown that small groups of them share a large territory and sometimes meet up.
