Chinese Park Scrambles to Feed Hungry Pandas
A nature reserve in western China is cooking up plans to find new food and feeding sites for hungry pandas because swathes of the bears' favorite snack, bamboo, are on the verge of flowering and withering away, the China Daily said on Monday. The Baishuijiang State Nature Reserve in northwest Gansu Province planned to bring food to the at least 22 bears in the park facing starvation or push the endangered animals to migrate to areas where bamboo was healthy, the newspaper said.
