Giant pandas, China's national treasure, live in bamboo forests in Sichuan and Shaanxi. They spend 12—14 hours daily eating bamboo, which makes up 99% of their diet. Sadly, habitat loss due to deforestation(滥伐森林) and climate change has made them endangered(濒危的). To protect pandas, Chinese scientists build nature reserves(自然保护区) and use technology to monitor their health. Baby pandas are born pink and blind, weighing only 100 grams—about the size of a banana! They stay with their mothers for 18 months before living independently.
