[01:39.06]Guest:I'd like to now about Giant Panads in China
[01:42.82]Host:Well, the pandas exist in only six small areas in inland China.One of those areas is the Wolong Nature Reserve in Southwestern Chin
[01:55.91]Some experts say there might be somewhere between 700 and 100 pandas alive in those area
[02:05.41]something like 35 populations with about 20 bears in a group .Of course ,you can see pandas in zoos around the worl
[02:18.00]Here in China you can go to zoos like the Beijing Zoo to see them in captivity.
[02:25.95]Guest:Why are they disappearing so fast
[02:29.05]Host:Because the bamboo forests are disappearing .Also,because of the periodic flowering and withering of the bambo
[02:39.03]the bears have a difficult time.Pandas live mainly on bamboo,and those forests are being cut dow
[02:48.54]The bears live in cold ,damp forests in the mountains
[02:53.19]In the last 30 years,Sichuan has lost almost 30 percent of its forest
[03:00.35]So ,the bears have less food and no home.They seem happy in captivity and can adjust to zoos.

[08:47.88]Host:Pandas aren't sociable.They're solitary animals and avoid contact with other panda
[08:56.40]The female has one cub in the fall and keeps the cub with her for nearly two year
[09:04.76]Pandas can be aggressive .They'll swipe other bears and keepers with their big paw
[09:12.86]They cover their eyes with their paws when they don't want to fight
[09:18.13]I guess these reasons make them able to live alone in captivity with only one keeper .

[09:34.82]The first bear was called Ming Ming:the second was called Lin Lin ,and it was born in 196
[09:46.27]Captive-born cubs grow up to be happy in the zoo and like to entertain the public.
[09:53.50]Our government has set up some special research centres to improve breeding

[15:56.66]They'll eat different kinds of plants, but most of their diet is bamboo leaves and stems and shoot
[16:06.40]They eat for about 16 hours a day to get enough food to live on.
[16:12.77]Pandas have big appetites. They can eat more than 18 kilograms of leaves every da
[16:21.55]And when they want shoots, they can eat about 36 kilograms of those each da
