aisyahuh: Panda panda panda!

Sekarang di intermed, adalah panda-panda season.

Bagi panda yang sudah terlepas dari captivity (bak kata mr semat), meh meh kita meng-anti stress sekejap, menghembus nafas panjang, goess "awwww comelnya!" bersama-sama, sambil menambah ilmu mengenai haiwan yang tersangat adorable inih!

I present youuuu, Giant Panda fun facts!

1. Tahukah anda, newborn giant panda is born blind and pink. The size of a cub is 1/900th the size of its mother, and is comparable to the length of a stick of butter (kecik!). Bayangkan anak manusia lahir, sebesar ibu jari kita @_@

"mummy mummy mummy!!"

baby giant pandas menguasai nikmat dunia: tidur!

2. Giant panda can swim and a very good tree climber! Righhht onnn!

eh eh maaa, i wanna get out!

damn! I'm stuck again *sigh*

3. Panda rely on spatial memory (orientation) than visual memory.

4. Female pandas ovulate once a year and are fertile for only 2-3 days.

sayang ni ha

This is the reason why it is hard to breed pandas in captivity (and at wild) . Also the reason why some scientists try extreme methods such as showing video of giant Panda mating and and giving males Viagra to promote matingl. Oh which by the way, only the first one are 'assume' successful.

ish, nampak macam teddy bear!

5. Historically speaking, the ancient emperors of China kept pandas as pets and are the only few animals not been used in traditional Chinese medicine.

6. Giant panda are classified as a carnivora (animal which eats meat), but 99% of panda's diet are bamboo.

Giant panda eats only in a sitting or laying position. Show me the abdominal obesityyy!!

And guess what! Pandas cannot digest cellulose well (they have a digestive system of a carnivor), thus to compensate, it has to maintain a low energy and sedentary life style. And, eat tons of bamboos!

7. Giant panda cannot hibernate. Reason: not enough fat. So during winter, it will descend to lower elevations, to get a warmer temperature.
