Giant pandas are beautiful black-and-white
animals. They look like bears. They live in China. They are very quiet and
peaceful.
They eat bamboo shoots and leaves. They never
eat meat. Baby giant pandas spend a lot of time drinking their mums’ milk---up
to fourteen hours a day!
Mother giant pandas have only one or two
babies at a time. When the babies are born, they look like little white mice.
There are only about a thousand giant pandas
in the world now. Their number is getting smaller and smaller because their
living areas are becoming farmlands. If farmers keep taking the land, giant
pandas will have nowhere to live. Also, people hunt them for their fur. If this
continues, then there will be no giant pandas in the world.
So, what action can the club take? We should
write to newspapers and magazines about the giant pandas in China. We should tell them about
the problems for giant pandas. If more people know about these problems, then
maybe they will do something to help.
