Panda!

How big, tall, heavy, etc... are the pandas?

Pandas have a white coat with black fur around their eyes, on their ears, muzzle, legs and shoulders.

Unique physical features:

• Broad, flat molar teeth
• Enlarged wrist bone that functions as an opposable thumb

Both of these physical attributes help the panda to hold, crush and eat bamboo.

Size

• Giant pandas are about 150cm long from nose to rump, with a 10-15cm tail.
• A large adult panda can weigh about 100-150kg, with males 10% larger and 20% heavier than females.

Colour

• Distinctive black and white coat. Read a tibetan folklore tale on how pandas got their colour.
