Living Environment
Giant pandas live in the dense and cloudy forests at an altitude of 2,600 to 3,500m, where the air is thin and the temperature is below 20℃ all year round. Some other factors include the distribution of bamboo, topography and water resources, hiding places, caves for feeding cubs, and mountain gradients, which will also affect the distribution and density of the wild giant panda population. At present, human interference is the main factor affecting their distribution.
Giant pandas have high cold and moisture tolerances and never hibernate. At -4-14℃, they still walk in the bamboo bushes covered in thick snow. Generally, they live in shady and damp places where the humidity is over 80%.
