Read & Explore 32: Panda Loves Forest Home

Reporter: Please explain why you love your forest home in China.

Panda: I’ll tell you why. Bamboo plants grow here! That is my main food. I never have to search far for a meal.

Reporter: But is this forest safe for your babies?

Panda: sure! Trees keep them safe. When the babies are born, we stay inside a hollow tree trunk. It’s a safe shelter.

Reporter: How long do you remain there?

Panda: We stay for about 100 days. Later, my babies stay safe by climbing the trees.
