Pandas can climb trees and swim.They can climb trees when they are about seven months old.They can climb fast and high.They can even swim.But we don’t often see pandas swim because most of the pandas live in the mountains and they don’t need to go across the rivers.
Pandas grow fast and like being alone (独自).A baby panda is usually 120 grams (克).It drinks the milk from the mother panda for about 12 times a day.When it is six months old,it starts to eat bamboo and its leaves.Eight months later,it grows into a healthy panda.When it is twenty months old,it starts to live alone.
Pandas do not hibernate (冬眠).In winter,they usually find a nice place to spend the long winter and enjoy the bamboo.

Do you know what the world’s tallest animals are How do they sleep and drink
The world’s tallest animals are giraffes.You may think it’s difficult for them to sleep,but they have no such problems because giraffes don’t often stop for a snooze (打盹儿).Although they are so tall—males (雄性) can grow up to 18 feet,giraffes actually have the least sleep of all animals.They sleep about half an hour a day in the wild.When they sleep,they seldom lie down and they sleep for minutes at a time,because it’s difficult for them to get up again and it’s dangerous in the wild.But the giraffes in the zoo sleep around 4.6 hours every day,mostly at night.They usually lie down to sleep.
Drinking water may cause problems for giraffes because their long necks are too long to reach the ground.They must spread their legs in an uncomfortable position (姿势) to drink water.It makes them easily hunted by other animals like Africa’s big cats.As a result,they usually get water from the plants that they eat.They only need to drink water every few days.

2.How long do giraffes sleep a day in the wild,about half an hour or 4.6 hours

The Arctic is the northernmost place in the world.It is one of the world coldest places in winter.It is difficult for most animals to live there.But a few animals have their ways of living in the cold world.
Arctic foxes are one of those animals.Arctic foxes have thick white fur in the winter months.The thick fur helps them to stand the cold in winter.Their long tails (尾巴) are also very thick.When Arctic foxes sleep,they will put their tails around their bodies to stay warm.And their white fur makes it difficult for other animals to find them in the snow world.There is an interesting fact that Arctic foxes’ fur is not always white.When the weather gets warmer,Arctic foxes have less need to stay warm and keep away from dangers than they do in winter.So,in the summer their thick white fur gets thinner and becomes brown.
To get through the winter months,Arctic foxes need to eat a lot of food.They have very sensitive (灵敏的) ears and noses.These help them to find small animals under the snow easily.However,things are terrible sometimes.If Arctic foxes can’t find enough food or the weather is very terrible,they can slow down their metabolism (新陈代谢) and stay in their snow homes for up to two weeks.
