The size of the largest panda that is ever seen or recorded lies between 120-150cm and it weighs about 75-160Kg. The giant pandas usually live only in high mountains or isolated parts of the world specially in China. They have an extra bone in their hands (just like a human thumb) which they use mostly in holding bamboos or food. They can eat other plants or hunt small mammals for their food but many pandas suffer hunger if the bamboo crop fails.
