Yoga Bear

Giant panda bears do handstands to reach the

highest spot on a tree. The higher, the better. Why?

So they can pee to leave their scent. This marks their

territory. Male pandas choose a wide tree as a target.

Rough tree bark best captures the panda’s scent.

Female pandas look for the highest marking because

it will belong to the strongest male panda bear.

More About Giant Pandas

Giant panda bears are found in China. About 1,600

pandas are left in the wild today. Giant panda bears

have six digits on their paws. The extra digit helps

them tear apart the bamboo shoots they eat.
