A Panda Plays with A Ball

Baby Panda Plays with Ball

I don't think that I could ever get tired of posting cute videos of baby Pandas they are too adorable. Imagine what this world would be like if we could all just learn to love Pandas and enjoy their cuteness. What I enjoy so much about watching this video is that it reminds me so much of a child. They are so innocent  and defenseless that it becomes very hard for me to think that they are endangered because they are losing their home. In this video this panda is being measured because they are making sure that it is healthy and that it is growing properly. Let me mention that this little cub here was causing trouble because it took several vets to be able to get all of the information that they needed because it was so entertained with the ball it would let them take its measurements.

Climate Change

Humans are not the only ones that are affected with things that happen to the earth (we can't be so self centered). The poor little Giant Pandas suffer too because their food supply is affected. The problem with this is that their main staple is what is dying off. This article talks about the research done by some scientist from the Michigan State University as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They concluded that the climate change is affecting the main staple of Pandas by not allowing the bamboo to grow properly, meaning they won't have food (imagine living without your favorite restaurant. This article has information that worries me but it also brings relief to me, let me start with the good thing. The great thing about this article is that they give different examples or more like scenarios that lead them to their conclusions, this make the article trustworthy. Now moving on to the bad sadly the findings of this research are not very positive, because it is said that by the end of the 21st century the areas with bamboo maybe inhospitable due to them dying off. But even after those findings we get to see the positive side about all of this which is that with this research it is hoped that we can effectively use the resources that are used to try and keep the Pandas from becoming extinct. Thankfully the Giant Panda has many supporters that work very hard to help on their survival.

San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo page is wonderful because it is full with information about the panda bear. It answers many common questions that one might have about the panda. What I enjoy about this website is that it has the question/heading then answer. The great thing about this format is that as you read the question you start to think about what the answer might be and it is easier to analyze the information that you are reading. As you read you see the connections between the question/heading. My favorite portion of this article is when it talks about the colors of the Panda. To me this is a very interesting topic because it shows that no matter how much we study an animal there are things that we might never know (similar to the question of how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop). At the moment there are still just theories of what might cause them to have their black and white fur (rarely it may also be brown and white). Every where you look or click on this website it is full of facts and helpful Panda information. To the side of the page they have selected facts about the panda meaning if you are in a rush just looking for certain info like its class, height, or simply fun facts they are there. I also noticed that this article has pictures and videos. Having something to look at while reading an article is also important because visualization is also a big part of the learning process. I recommend you guys take a look at the site.

Do You Think Pandas Are Dangerous?

Black And White?

So there is no one specific article for this post that I can share. Have you ever wondered why Pandas are black and white? Well I can tell you that I have and I have not found just one certain answer. In my research I found that some of the speculations is that being black and white helps them when they camouflage up in the trees. This helps them stay safe from any predators as they are sleeping. There is also another theory that contradicts what i just mentioned, this theory says that it makes them easy to spot for when they are mating. Pandas are said to have bad eyesight and these colors make them easy to spot each other. The one thing that the various article do conclude is that scientist themselves are not entirely sure why these adorable animals are Black and White. But no matter what their colors may be we have to keep in mind that these animals are in danger and they need our support.

Here is a picture to remind you how Cute they are :)

Bamboo

The main source of food for the giant Panda is bamboo. Although they do eat other tiny animals occasionally. Now I would like to share with you that Bamboo is also used for other things that are very useful to us humans. For example did you know that bamboo can grow from 3 to 4 feet per day and can be used to create furniture.The most shocking thing I learned was that there is a possibility of using bamboo as fuel. The article is very helpful as it is short but precise and straight to the point. they way that it was styled was great because every thing had a heading so you knew what to expect. It also has a very friendly way of explaining things making the reader feel comfortable because then it becomes easy to understand and it makes it more fun as well. Overall this article was effective I learned many facts about bamboo. Now I know that its a good investment and that there are different types of bamboo plants as well. It was worth the read.
