The natural habitat of a panda bear is primarily the bamboo forests found in the mountainous regions of central China. These forests provide the necessary resources for the panda's diet, as bamboo constitutes about 99% of their food intake. Panda bears require a habitat with abundant bamboo and a relatively stable environment to thrive, as they consume large amounts of bamboo daily to meet their nutritional needs. In addition to bamboo, pandas may also roam in search of other plants or fruits. Conservation efforts are vital for preserving their habitat, as urban development and deforestation pose threats to their survival.
