Habitat:
Pandas are found in the mountains of central China.
They once lived in lowland areas, but farming, forest clearing, and other development now restrict giant pandas to the mountains.
Giant pandas live in broadleaf forests with a heavy population of bamboo, at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. These forests are concentrated with lots of rain and mist throughout the year and many heavy clouds.
The temperate forests of central China where giant pandas live receive about 30 to 40 inches of rain and snow a year.
