Habitat
Pandas live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of western China. Most of the wild population being distributed between the Qinling and Minshan Mountains. The typical panda bear habitat is not only filled with bamboo plants, but other exotic species such as Rhododendron, Ginkgo, Chinese yew and Qinling fir trees as well.
The panda bear habitat is found in one of the most biologically rich temperature forests on the planet. Since several peaks are taller than 3000 meters, the Qinling Mountains will function as a barrier against the cool and dry air that travels from the north. On the southern slopes, a warm and protected environment is therefore created – ideal for the bamboo plants on which the panda bear depend.
