    Water

    Cold

    Other Panda

    Iguess!

  3. Land, with access to other pandas.  One of the most dangerous things for pandas survival is human encroachment which keeps pandas living in isolation as opposed to having access to mates.

    They need at least 2 sources of bamboo since bamboo clones itself and any given species dies off completely when it flowers, so they need a second source of food when one species of bamboo dies.

    Then need quiet.  Female Pandas do not like to be disturbed after giving birth.  They will remain in their dens for over a month without drinking or eating in order to take care of the newborns.

  4. Bamboo is the most important plant in a giant panda's life. Pandas live in cold and rainy bamboo forests high in the mountains of western China. They spend at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo. Because bamboo is so low in nutrients, wild pandas eat 20 to 40 pounds (9 to 18 kilograms) of it each day. Pandas grasp bamboo stalks with their five fingers and a special wristbone, then use their teeth to peel off the tough outer layers to reveal the soft inner tissue. Strong jaw bones and cheek muscles help pandas crush and chew the thick stalks with their flattened back teeth. Bamboo leaves are also on the menu, as pandas strip them off the stalks, wad them up, and swallow them. Giant pandas have also been known to eat grasses, bulbs, fruits, some insects, and even rodents and carrion. At the San Diego Zoo, pandas are offered 10 to 25 pounds (4 to 11 kilograms) of bamboo each day, as well as carrots, yams, and special leaf eater biscuits made of grain and packed with all the vitamins and minerals pandas need.

    Tenuously. What is arguably the greatest threat to the giant panda is destruction of its habitat. Bamboo, which is 99% of its diet, is commercially being cut. That has impacted its range and/or population density.

    The giant panda is well-adapted to its natural terrain and climate, but cannot survive in the wild without a year 'round supply of the bamboo that is its primary food source.

    Good Luck! d**n, I ANSWERED LATE.
