Giant Panda (Or Just Panda)

Hey guys sorry about the delay in post I was planing some new stuff for this site and one of them is wallpapers. At the bottom of every post you will find a tab to download HQ wallpapers of the animal who will be our guest on the post. Like in our last post our guest looked pretty similar to you, any guesses, yep you are damn right, the Monkeys, and today we have with us the cutest, yet furious Panda and ya one more thing, Panda and Giant Panda are the same. So lets get started...


----------The Giant Panda is scientifically, yet laterally know as "cat-foot black-and-white". Pandas are mammals adapted to arboreal as well as terrestrial lifestyle and classified in the Bear Family. The Panda was previously thought to be the member of the Raccoon Family. 99% of the Pandas diet comprises of Bamboo only, it also eats honey, eggs, shrubs, leaves, oranges and bananas.

----------The Panda is a conservation reliant endangered species. China has 239 Pandas and another 27 living outside the country. Its just an estimation that 2000 to 3000 pandas are living in the wild. Pandas are calm and shy animals but there have been cases of Pandas attacking humans but that's due to irritation.

Family-Spheniscidae

Species:
-Almost all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere.
-They are not found only in cold climates, like Antarctica.
-Only few species of Penguins live so far south.
-Several species are found in the Temperate zone and only one species, Galapagos Penguin, Lives in the Equator.
-Emperor Penguins are the largest living Penguins whereas, Little Blue Penguin (Fairy Penguins) are the smallest.

-Penguins mostly eat krill's, squid, fish and other sea organisms caught under water.

Penguins Spend their life half on land and half in the ocean.
Larger Penguins are usually found in colder regions while smaller penguins are found in the temperate or equatorial regions. Some Prehistoric species attained enormous sizes becoming as heavy and tall as humans. Such penguins were not restricted to Antarctic regions, i.e., cold regions they also occurred at diverse climatic regions.

                                  Penguins have no fear of humans but they do get nervous once the distance is less than 3 meters and hence the tourists are not supposed to approach closer than 3 meter distance from the penguins, but they are not expected to withdraw if the penguins come closer.
