Wild pandas only live in China. They are found across six different mountain ranges around Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. They are native to the Minshan, Quinling, Xiao Xiang and Quinghai-Tibet plateau mountains. All of these places have vast bamboo forests. Colder in higher altitudes and warmer at lower. Pandas do not hibernate, so the varying tempuratures help them in the changing seasons.
