morphological character

Giant pandas are chubby, like bears, with round heads and short tails. Head and trunk length 1.2- 1.8m, tail length 10- 12cm. The weight is 80- 120 kg, and the maximum weight can reach 180 kg. Pandas are slightly heavier, and males are generally slightly larger than females. The head and body are black and white, but black is not pure black, and white is not pure white, but brown in black and yellow in white.

The Qinling area is large, with rough body hair and slightly brown belly hair. Minshan (especially Qingchuan Pingwu) is smaller, with thinner body hair and less brown belly hair, but Liangshan is not small. The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forests and trees on the snow-covered ground, which is not easy to be found by natural enemies.

Relatively sharp claws and powerful front and rear limbs are beneficial for giant pandas to climb tall trees quickly.
