Furs appear white with black ears and black teardrop circles across the eye area. the black mountain rock terrain and the white snow is mixed into by the panda with its black and white color from the its enemies. Bamboos consist their daily diet churning down 30 to 45 pounds of it everyday. The low nutrition in bamboo is the main reason why pandas gobble in excess of it to compensate thelack of nutrition that it needs.

Only 25,000 of them are left and scattered along the arctic zone with 19 subpopulations in which 8 are known to be declining, 1 is on the increase and the remainder with absent data.

These are the bears found in the forests and mountains of Europe, Asia and the northern part of North America. In the winter time, these bears hibernate into their dens and caves. The coastal British Columbia, Alaska and on an island like Kodiak are the places where the biggest of them brown bears are found.
