Giant panda (bamboo bear) is a national treasure of China, in addition, it can be seen on the logo of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Below you will find out where you can see a panda in China, how long pandas live and much more, panda pictures by Bemorepanda.

Giant pandas are similar to bears, but differ in their characteristic black and white coloration. Panda's paws, eyes and ears are covered with black fur; a black strip also runs around the shoulders of the animal.

Have you noticed what color a panda's tail is? The tail of the giant panda is white! 

Giant pandas spend up to 14 hours a day eating. The fact is that the calorie content in bamboo is small, and the panda quickly begins to feel hungry again.

Having eaten, pandas go to bed for a period of 2 to 4 hours. When they wake up, they again go in search of food.

In addition to feeding and sleeping, giant pandas also climb trees. Yes, these huge clumsy bears can climb trees! Usually, pandas climb a tree to get away from danger, during the courtship period, and also to avoid stronger competitors.

Pandas eat the roots, shoots and leaves of bamboo. Bamboo makes up 99% of their daily diet. In addition to bamboo, they feed on some types of fruits.

Giant pandas in captivity are fed special bread made from rice and corn flour, soy powder and eggs. Wild pandas also eat grasses, insects, mice and even lambs found in the surrounding villages.

Giant pandas in China live in the west and southwest of the country. The city of Chengdu is, without exaggeration, the best place to get acquainted with these cute animals. Here you can visit the big panda and get acquainted with the habits of the animal, which has become one of the symbols of the Celestial Empire.

Giant pandas are dearly loved not only by the people of China, but also by many foreigners - children and adults. The best places in China to see pandas are located in the Chengdu area, which is called the "homeland of the giant panda". In addition, the panda can be seen in zoos in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guilin and Hong Kong.

If you are curious to watch the panda in its natural habitat - come to Sichuan! More information on how to visit a giant panda is available on the China Panda Tours page.

Get even closer to see the panda by participating in a volunteer program at the China Center for the Conservation and Study of the Dujiangyan Giant Panda (CCRCGP) near Chengdu. Here you can take care and even feed the big panda.

As of 2014, there were only 1,864 giant pandas left in the wild. It is considered one of the rarest endangered species in the world, which is why the giant panda has adorned the logo of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) since the foundation of the organization in 1961.

Today, the only place suitable for the giant panda to live in its natural environment is in a remote mountainous region at an altitude of 1200 to 3100 meters above sea level. These are the foothills of Tibet in the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi.

Pandas can only live in vast bamboo forests because bamboo is their main food.

In the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province, there are large panda bases (for example, Bifengxia Bifengxia Giant Panda Nursery), where both wild pandas and those that live in captivity are taken care of. The most famous of them is the Giant Panda Research Center, located 10 km from the center of Chengdu.

The habitats of the giant panda are gradually disappearing due to deforestation and the development of agricultural production. There have also been cases of poaching in history. The disappearance of the natural environment for the panda has led to the fact that the animals are under the threat of extinction.

On September 5, 2016, the giant panda was moved from the endangered species list to the Vulnerable category.

The giant panda's natural habitat is protected by the Chinese government. Agricultural land is moving back into forest areas. In the event of an earthquake, rescued pandas are nurtured in a nature reserve and then released back into the wild.

The giant panda is the only vegetarian bear in the world. As a rule, in order not to starve to death, he needs to eat about 12 and a half kilograms of bamboo per day, because only 17 percent of the food consumed is digested. No wonder they spend 14 hours a day eating.

The reason for this inefficiency is simple - the panda's digestive system is unable to process bamboo leaves and shoots. According to Chinese scientists, these animals switched to plant foods only twenty thousand years ago - quite recently by the standards of evolution. During this time, their digestive tract did not have time to change: it is arranged in much the same way as in omnivorous animals. Pandas do not have a multi-chambered stomach or an elongated small intestine where plants are processed. There are no special genes responsible for the production of enzymes necessary for the digestion of plant fibers.

To extract at least some nutrients from the shoots and leaves of bamboo, the bacteria that live in their intestines - streptococci, E. coli and shigella - help the bears.

Pandas extract many times less energy from food than, for example, cows or sheep, and they manage to survive on a plant-based diet only thanks to a special metabolism. As it turns out, pandas only need 1,100 calories a day. This is about 37 percent of the energy consumed by mammals of the same size and mass. Such an economy is not typical for any other animal species, except for sloths with their specific way of life.

Unlike sloths, pandas are quite active, although they move less and more slowly than other bears. In addition, their body temperature is lower than that of other mammals, but falls short of that characteristic of animals that have fallen into hibernation or anabiosis. The main secret to saving energy is a low metabolic rate, which has arisen due to a "breakdown" in the DUOX2 gene. It is involved in the synthesis of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The levels of these substances in the body of pandas are even lower than those of a brown bear that has gone into hibernation.

Bamboo bears have the most energy-consuming organs—the brain, liver, and kidneys—are smaller than you might expect given their size. The mass of the brain is about 20 percent less than expected, and the weight of the kidneys and liver is 25 and 37 percent, respectively. All this allows giant pandas to survive on only bamboo leaves and shoots, even though the intestines are not able to digest them properly.

Short men's haircuts without bangs are the choice of those who are not ready to spend a lot of time on styling. Hair of short length does not require intensive care. They are easy to keep clean. Styling hairstyles also does not take much effort - most often, the most specific styling products are enough.

 

Who will fit this type of haircut?

 

Professional standards often determine the choice of a short hairstyle - for the military or tomboy, and many others. In addition, bangless haircuts are recommended for men with a low forehead line or very coarse hair, as they can correct imperfections. These options are considered universal - you can afford such experiments in youth and adulthood, and such haircuts help to hide the areas of hair growth that begin to thin out.

 

When choosing a short men's haircut without bangs, it is essential to determine how appropriate and relevant it will be. Such experiments are contraindicated for owners of a high forehead or a triangular face type. For men with these appearance features, the presence of bangs is a highly desirable part of the image.

 

 

Wearing short hair with an open forehead is free for owners of the correct oval of the face and those lucky enough to have its rounded or square outlines. In this case, the width of the cheekbones and chin will be adjusted. The front will acquire a more noble and intelligent look.

 

With straight hair, it is better to avoid haircuts with a rigid shape - “boxing,” “hedgehog” after a few days will cause a lot of trouble with styling. It is better to do ultra-short haircuts on highly curly strands, especially if there is little time for care and styling. But in general, choosing longer hairstyles for such hair is good, leaving more room for styling.

 

The familiar image also matters. Most of the short haircuts that do not have bangs belong to the military and sports styles and the classics. In this case, creating something avant-garde or creative is unlikely to succeed.

 

Attractive short haircuts for men

 

The modern fashion industry has a selection of haircuts for short hair. Stylish hairstyles are proposed to be created under typewriter or scissors, worn with or without a parting. The most exciting options look no worse than fashionable haircuts with bangs but require less time for care and maintenance.

 

Caesar

 

A graphic haircut with clear lines performed on thick, reasonably soft, straight hair that holds its shape well. "Caesar" is achieved while maintaining a clear cap of hair in the parietal region. The exact length is maintained above the forehead. The temples are shaved, and the rest of the sides of the head and to the back of the head are cut short, under 0.5-1 mm. The contrasting coloring of the strands looks good on such a graphic haircut. A hairstyle feature can be called the complexity of its adaptation for men with a square or rounded face - it visually makes it even more comprehensive. Owners of a perfect oval can only carry out such experiments.

 

Canadian without bangs

 

This is a good solution for men with a square face shape or a regular oval. A haircut involves a noticeable shortening of the sides and back of the hair. On the crown of the head, the length remains about 5-7 cm, with a pronounced curl, the strands above the forehead are milled. Hair styling takes a minimum of time. It is enough to set the direction of wet hair with a comb and hair dryer and lift it with pomade or wax, structuring the shape.

 

Tomboy

 

 

Fashionable unisex haircut, a popular hairstyle for young people. It is distinguished by the formation of hairstyles with shaved temples and piping and volume at the back of the head. The haircut is performed on straight hair and goes well with the oval of the face. The strands must be thinned.

 

Half box

The optimal solution for adherents of the classical style in clothes and hair. This haircut has short temples and nape, a parietal part 5-7 cm long. This haircut is easy to style in different styles, is universal, and corrects excess volume in the cheek area well. Creamy pomades are well suited for fixation, allowing you to emphasize the structure of the hair and give them direction.

 

Box haircut

 

A classic men's haircut in a sporty style, with very short or shaved temples, the back of the head, and the top of the head no more than 3 mm long. The optimal solution for people who devote a lot of time to sports or physical activity in the fresh air. The hairstyle does not require unique styling, but it can be diversified and made more structural through pastes and wax.

 

Sport

 

 

This is a clipper haircut that allows you to maintain a length of no more than 1 mm over the entire head, from the forehead to the neck. In addition, there are options in which edging is made - up to the back of the head and above the ears, to the temples. If desired, the “sport” haircut can be easily transformed into a “platform,” giving it a more apparent rectangular shape, or into a “beaver,” adding rounding to the lines. Hairstyles of this type go to men with coarse hair and rough features. In this case, the lines of the skull must be flawless.

 

Military

 

The most extreme version of men's haircuts, providing for the preservation of no more than 0.5 mm of hair length over the entire head. Military-style hairstyles without bangs suit owners with expressive facial features and a round or oval head shape. Haircuts of this type are not recommended for thinning hair with bald patches or spots. It is optimal to wear them at a young age, combined with the appropriate clothing style.

 

British

 

A variant of a short male haircut, in which a short nape and whiskey with thinning are combined with a rather voluminous crown and graduated length at the peak. The maximum size of the hair is reached towards the forehead, while during styling, they are combed to one side or placed vertically.

 

The haircut is suitable for young people and middle-aged men with straight, not very stiff strands.

 

How to do it yourself?

 

A haircut without bangs provides that the length of the hair above the forehead will not be radically different from that shown by the rest of the strands. The simplest option - for a typewriter - is performed in the boxing or semi-boxing version. It is accessible even for a novice master and is not complicated. The whole pattern and shape are built using different lengths of nozzles. First, the excess length is removed - you can leave 30-50 mm, and the rest is cut off with scissors.

 

It is worth considering that any haircuts are done on clean, slightly dried hair. It is necessary to work with the machine in the direction against the hairline. A procedure must be followed when performing a “boxing” or “half-boxing” haircut.

 

 

No. 1 cuts the entire part of the head from the neck to the edge of the edging. The simplest solution is to bring the line to the middle of the temple (just above the protruding edge of the hairline) and follow it around the entire circumference of the head. You need to move from the bottom up, with smooth movements, without haste.

The side part of the head (transition) needs to be cut with nozzle No. 2. Having installed it, you need to make a neat change in the length and style of this hairstyle element.

In the parietal region, the length of the hair is formed, considering the choice of nozzle No. 3 or No. 4. By moving the machine in the direction against the hair growth, you need to achieve a uniform length of the remaining strands.

The temporal region is treated last. No. 2 nozzle is used here. It will be easier for beginners to choose a straight rather than an oblique design option. It is easier to execute and less likely to make mistakes.

 

The hairline must be cut with scissors at the end of the haircut under the machine. With its low location on the neck, it is permissible to shave part of the hair. But this technique is unsuitable for teenage boys, as it can affect the further formation of hairstyles.

 

Hair styling recommendations

 

 

Short men's hairstyles without pronounced bangs are pretty easy to style. Many tricks allow you to transform your appearance quickly. It can be a change in the parting, slight negligence, or styling in the spirit of Chicago in the 30s of the XX century. It is only necessary to remember the appropriateness of the image and its compliance with the professional and social aspirations of a man.

 

When planning to style short hair yourself, you should take care of the selection of the necessary accessories from the very beginning. To maintain the accuracy of the haircut lines, a machine with nozzles or a trimmer will help. Also, if the hairstyle is not ultra-short, a hair dryer, a special comb, and styling products will be helpful: gel, wax, mousse, and cream. It is worth considering that, depending on the release form, men's styling products can be placed in a spray bottle with a pump dispenser, a soft tube, or a flat rounded jar.

 

Essential tips for styling short hair that may come in handy

 

Choice of styling products. It depends on what effect you want. For example, foam and mousse add volume at the roots. Wax and cream help emphasize the natural structure of the hair, make the hair clean and shaped, add shine, and apply to dry strands. The gel has a liquid consistency, rigidly fixes, and dries. It is not recommended for use on thin, devoid of volume hair.

 

Hair preparation. Be sure to wash your head before applying styling products. When using the gel, it is not necessary to dry the strands. For other products, the preliminary use of a hair dryer is recommended.

 

 

Obedient styling. You can use wax or leave-in cream to make the hair lie perfectly, not fluffy, and look well-groomed. They do not change the stiffness of the strands and last all day but require the use of hot water when rinsing. A small portion of the product is pre-rubbed in the palms and only then gently distributed through the hair. You can get a classic neat hairstyle for all occasions by smoothing combed hair.

 

Aggressive style. With its firm hold, the gel is well suited for creating hairstyles in the spirit of creative mess. The more chaotic the hair, the more original the image will turn out. But do not be too zealous - it is better to make the parietal region of the head sharper and smooth the temples on the sides so that they do not stick out.

 

Stacking Chicago. This is a styling option without

bangs, in which the hair, with the help of a gel or more elastic in the fixation of the broiling, is directed back and smoothed as much as possible. The effect of a wet, sparkling lacquer hairstyle looks good on thin, obedient, dark hair. As a daytime look, this option is not suitable, but it is pretty applicable on the occasion of a celebration or at a themed party.

 

 

Iroquois styling. A favorite option for football players and athletes, which allows you to add volume and originality to your hairstyle. In this case, it is better to use a reasonably rigid fixation with mousse or varnish. The strands from the sides are directed to the central part, forming a kind of comb, and the temples are stacked toward their growth. The big plus of this hairstyle for short hair is its versatility - it is suitable for an official ceremony with a mandatory tuxedo and casual looks.

 

 

Side parting. Standard office hair styling option without bangs. In this case, the break on the hair is not traditionally done in the center, but on the left or right, with an offset. The hair is styled to one side, smoothed with wax or cream, creating a sufficiently elastic but at the same time an explicit and graphic hairstyle.

 

Applying these recommendations, you can maintain the image of a real fashionista even if you have only one short haircut, without bangs, with equal hair length. You just need not be afraid of experiments and find the best styling options for yourself.

 

 

 

Abi was rescued and adopted by the wildlife specialists at the Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs in Australia about 12 years ago—and she has consistently showed her affection to the rescuers by giving them hugs each day since rescuing her.

Queen Abigail—or “Abi”—was only five months old when she was rescued as a little baby orphan. This is rarely happening when a mother kangaroo is losing her baby, bit when this is happening humans are near to help.

The kangaroo still insists on starting each of her mornings by hugging her human family, in this way thanking them each day for being loved and saved.

Abi is still living in the sanctuary and is being grateful for her life near humans.

Whether they jump over long distances or usually fall on their feet, or hide in boxes, or climb high places, cats have always managed to amaze and amuse us with their behavior and abilities. And we still don't know everything about them.

When choosing a cat, you need to think about what characteristics you want from the new pet and what breeds of cats they have. Of course, every cat is unique in character. But there are some traits that characterize certain races. In order for sparks not to come out at home in the end, make sure that the cat's character traits match those of yours in principle. The cuteness factor must play a secondary role in the choice of the cat.

If you have a family and there is always something going on in your home, an awake and adaptable cat, such as Selkirk Rex, Ocicat or Singapore, may be the best choice. There are also cats that love peace, for example - Korat, Snowshoe and Nebelung. These breeds are especially suitable for people who lead a stress-free life at home.

Bemorepanda collected some funny memes from the famous Twitter page "Memes I wish I could tag my cat in".

Sometimes you approach a cat faster than you would like. For example, if a cat makes kittens in a circle of friends, or if a nearby farm gives free kittens. There are a number of characteristics by which you can recognize, before making a final decision, whether the animal is in good shape. This is usually the case if:

• the cat is relaxed and playful.
• it has a soft and shiny fur.
• the gums are pale and without redness.
• the nose is dry, warm and does not flow.
• the eyes are clear and the ears are clean.

The expression "gourmand as fine as a cat" does not come from anywhere! A diet adapted to the cat's breed is the most important factor for a healthy and long life! An optimal cat diet is particularly high in protein and varied. The food must be adapted to the special needs of your cat and must be diversified because cats are gourmets.

Cats are also game animals - as are their wild relatives, prey cats. Their bodies are prone to processing animal feed and protein. However, cats also assimilate plants through the food consumed by their prey. Their food is therefore balanced and rich in vitamins.

Due to the natural predisposition of its body, give your cat a balanced and highly protein-rich diet consisting of dry food and moist food. Also pay attention to a varied diet, adapted to the special needs of your gourmet.

Variation is obtained through a combination of main food and snacks, as well as nutritional supplements. This will optimally cover your cat's nutrient needs and ensure a varied diet.

Elderly cats should be given a carefully selected diet. Many quality brands offer food specially adapted to the needs of older cats. It should be offered as exclusive food or mixed with regular cat food. Your veterinarian will give you extra advice when it comes to recognizing any age-related weaknesses in cats.

Feed cats with sensitive digestion only with quality products, specially adapted to their needs. Important here is a careful change of diet spread over about a week, so that the cat can adapt to the new food. Severe digestive as well as skin problems may indicate a possible grain allergy; in this case you must also adapt the food accordingly. If problems persist or occur frequently, be sure to see a veterinarian.

Cats are "desert animals", thus being able to concentrate their urine strongly. For this reason, in cats there is generally a tendency to form kidney stones. Therefore, always make enough fresh water available to the cat in several easily accessible places and watch his behavior carefully.

Long-haired cat breeds swallow more hair during daily fur care than short-haired cats. In addition, it tends to knot and tangle more often. That is why there is special food for long-haired cats, which reduces the formation of lumps and ensures a soft fur. If you give your cat a bowl of grass for cats, it will help to regurgitate swallowed hair. In addition, you should regularly take care of your cat's fur with a dedicated comb so that it stays long and shiny.

Cats usually sleep between 13 and 16 hours a day. What is the reason they need so much rest? Expert Abigail Tucker, author of "The Lion in the Living Room" has an extremely interesting explanation.

1.

According to the expert, although the time dedicated to sleep differs from one cat to another, depending on age and personality, cats usually sleep between 13 and 16 hours a day. Only bats and opossums sleep more, almost 20 hours a day.

2.

"Everything has to do with the instinct of a predator. If, for example, herbivores graze for hours until they fill their stomachs with enough food, in the case of cats, hunting gives them a very short time to attack and devour their victim. This behavior has also been passed on to domestic cats, so they can spend most of the day sleeping, like lions, ”explained Abigail Tucker.

3.

Another characteristic of cats is that they are twilight animals, being more active at sunset and at dawn. During the day, they rest and at night they become active.

4.

"On the other hand, many cats, especially apartment cats, sleep rather out of boredom, having nothing to stimulate them, such as those raised in the yard," she added.

5.

Studies show that cats sleep has two phases: REM (Rapid eye movement) - characterized by rapid eye movement, when dreams occur, and non-REM sleep (NREM) or deep sleep.

6.

During NREM sleep, the cat's body recovers. Bones grow, muscles develop. The immune system strengthens. 60% of a cat's sleep is REM sleep, three times less than in humans.

7.

According to the expert, when sleeping, the cat must have its own bed. "Cats need their space, where they can sleep better. If you make a special cage for him, even a box, the cat will be much happier than if you keep him in bed ", the expert added.
