I'm The Giant Panda

Do not mistake me for a Bear. True, I look like one, but my features Resemble those of a raccoon. Unlike the hulking Grizzly Bear, I'm not an aggressive meat lover. I couldn't be more peaceful! I enjoy a plant-based diet. Give me a bamboo any day! No, I don't mind berries, fruit, flowers, Grasses, bark, and small animals. Never think "Bear" when you see me! I do not hibernate; I simply relax and sleep out in the open. We couldn't look more different! Bears wear uniform colors: Brown, black, or white. I, on the other hand, Don a black and white coat With a prominent black eye markings. I'm one of the rarest and shyest... Of wild animals; a solitary beast from China. I live in cold and damp conditions, But my dense, waterproof coat Gives me absolute protection. An extremely agile climber, I escape... Larger predators with ease. I'm a glutton that spends Two-thirds of my waking hours eating. Here's a bit more about me... I stand 5' ft erect. As a female, I'm shorter in stature. I weigh up to 265 lbs. As a female, I weigh less. I give birth to usually one cup. Did I mention I'm not a Bear? Date written: 06/12/2023
