Females are a little bit smaller, their weight varies between 50 and kg, and their body length is between 1 and 1. Pandas are heavy enough, they have thick white fur, with contrasting black colour on their paws, ears and patches around the eyes. Pandas are solitary animals.
In the wild, every animal has its separate area. Males and females meet for a short period to have their young. Pandas eat bamboo. At Moscow Zoo, they also have carrots, apples and special grain cookies baked at the Zoo. Life expectancy of pandas kept at zoos can reach 30 years or more.
