Giant Panda

The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), also known as the panda bear (or simply the panda), is a bear species endemic to China. Its striking black-and-white coat and plump body give it a distinctive look. To differentiate it from the red panda, a nearby musteloid, the term "big panda" is occasionally used. Although the giant panda is a member of the Carnivora order, more than 99 percent of its diet consists of bamboo shoots and leaves. Other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion are occasionally consumed by giant pandas in the wild. In addition to carefully prepared food, they may be fed in captivity honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas.

Giant pandas are renowned for their sluggishness and gaffes. They sleep for around three hours at a time, for about ten hours each day, and they will sleep almost anywhere. They spend the vast bulk of their conscious time eating. Since bamboo, their chosen meal, contains few vitamins and minerals, they must consume about 44 lb (20 kg) of it daily to meet their needs. It's understandable that they don't accomplish much else after all that sleeping and eating.
