schleich WILD LIFE Giant Panda

With its typical black and white fur pattern, the giant panda is a real beauty. Its legs and shoulders are black, the back and head are white. Its small ears and muzzle are especially cute and the fur around the eyes are black. What a great look!

With its striking black and white fur, and black circles around its eyes, the giant panda looks just like a cuddly toy. But today it doesn't have time to cuddle. The bear, which can weigh up to 160 kilos, has to make sure it gets enough food. Because it eats almost nothing but bamboo, and the plant is not particularly nutritious, it has to keep eating for up to 16 hours a day! No wonder it has no time to play; it has to digest up to 40 kilos of bamboo! And that takes time.
