This is my second mind map. You may noticed that I have attached some notes. These give a little more information or explain what I mean. A  take a look……………

 Pandas don’t have many habits/ things to do during the day but here are some interesting facts about what the like to do. Pandas spend around two-thirds of their day feeding. The rest of their day is spent resting. Giant Pandas are very fast climbers but they mainly climb when they are in danger. Pandas have no special sleeping place so they lie down wherever they are.

I was on some other blogs when I thought: Hey, these people on my blog might not have any idea what pandas look like.

Discription: The Giant panda is sometimes called a “panda bear”. Although they look like bears they aren’t. The Giant Panda has black and white fur. Most males Giant pandas can weigh up to 115 kg! Females are normally smaller than males but can still weigh up to a massive a 100 kg! A Giant Panda  by  JeffKubina

Although 61% of pandas are in sanctuaries, the other 39% are in danger of being poached or having their natural habit destroyed! Pandas live in the South-West region of China in places such as Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces all the way toward the east Tibetan plateau.

There are very few Giant pandas left living in the wild, so WWF has made ‘Panda Reserves’ for the pandas. There are over 50 of them! Although these are great I would like to see more. Only about 61% (around 980 pandas) of the Giant pandas left in the world are in the safety of these sanctuaries.  These sancturies cover over 10,400km squared.
