Hunting for skin as well as pets for the rich.
But mostly because they are prisoners of their diet .
They only eat one kind of bamboo that grows high in the mountains.and these areas are getting smaller with human development
So loss of habitat is the biggest killer
Their reliance on this bamboo means that their habitats are very limited ,this makes also them easy to locate .for poachers
This bamboo does not give them enough fat to go into hibernation so they must stay awake and eat through the winter again making them vulnerable because of exposure in an empty land scape
The longest they can go with out food is for 3 weeks when they nurse their young in a den or cave .
They only have one cub at the time .And very few young reach adult hood
The Pandas inability to adjust or evolve its eating Habits and its poor reproduction rate are its downfall 0% 0 Votes -
