Pandas don’t have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago,there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China,but then humans started to cut down these forests.
