The panda also has a special significance for WWF because it has been WWF's logo since our founding in 1961. The rarest member of the bear family, pandas live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of western China, where they subsist almost entirely on bamboo. They must eat from 26 to 84 pounds of it every day, a formidable task for which they use their enlarged wrist bones that function as opposable thumbs.
Burning out food sources isn't the only problem when it comes to climate change. Rising temperatures are bad for pandas themselves. Giant pandas experience heat stress when temperatures climb above 25 degrees Celsius (77 F). They have to live at temperatures below that to stay healthy, Spotila said. In nature, they actively seek out cool areas (microhabitats) in summer and move to higher elevations to avoid heat.
