With an average lifespan of 25 years, a giant panda's average size is 42" tall and 350 pounds. Whereas most bears have round pupils, giant pandas have vertical slits, like cats' eyes. It is these unique eyes that inspired the Chinese to call the panda the 'giant bear cat.' Pandas spend twelve hours a day eating up to 83 pounds of bamboo. Instead of saving energy by hibernating, they move up and down the mountainside to regulate their body temperature.
