(A) Summary
High in dense bamboo forests in the misty, rainy mountains of southwestern China lives one of the world's rarest mammals: the giant panda, also called the panda. Only about 1,500 of these black-and white relatives of bears survive in the wild.
Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and leaves. Occasionally They eat Other vegetation, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99 Percent Of their diets. Pandas eat fast, they eat a lot and They spend about 12 hours a day doing it. The reason: they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot - upto 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.
Pandas' molars are very broad and flat. The shape of the teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems that they eat. They can chomp on bamboo up to one-and-a-half inches thick. To get the bamboo to their mouths, they hold the stems with their front paws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for gripping. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. A scarcity in bamboo threatens the already limited panda population.
An adult female panda weighs 200 pounds. Pandas can climb as high as 13,000 feet and are also very good swimmers. Sometimes male pandas relax by doing handstands against trees. Pandas are shy; they don't venture into areas where people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.

(B) NOTE-MAKING
It may sound too fantastic to be true but if you are lucky enough to go to the Sahara Desert one day, then you too will be able to see thousands of engraved, decorated rocks! On these rocks, there are scenes of animals, of agriculture, of sheep-herding, and hunting; there are ceremonies and dances, and chariots drawn by galloping horses, all pictured on the rocks as if there were part of an illustrated book—a wonderful, stone book, which conjures up
images and journeys of incredible journeys. And if we could make a voyage to the dawn time, we would nd that the Sahara was not then the desert we now know, but a green and fertile region instead. Mighty rivers owed down and the vegetation was Mediterranean style: Pine trees, Holm oaks, cedars, lime trees and ash trees.
