The Giant Panda

The Giant Panda is a very big mammal and lives in the mountains of Southwestern China. It weighs 86 to 125 kilos and it is black and white. It's 1.20 to 1.90 metres tall. It eats 12 to 15 kilos of bamboo a day and it lives about 20 years. There are about 1,600 pandas all over the world today. The Giant Panda is in danger because of lack of food, poaching and destruction of its habitat.

My favourite animal

The giraffe is a big, tall mammal with a very long neck and it lives in Africa. It is 6 metres tall and weighs about 1350 kilos. Its skin is thin and it is usually yellow with big brown spots. It lives about 20-25 years. It doesn't drink water very often, only every 2-3 days! But when it does, it drinks up to 37 litres at a time. The giraffe eats up to 63 kilos of leaves a day. I have seen a giraffe at the Attiko zoology park and it isn't dangerous.
