5．We think we know pandas．They are rare animals that live in the forests of China．They spend their days eating bamboo．They don't reproduce very often．But did you know that pandas quite like meat？Did you know they can climb trees and swim？Pandas are actually a lot more mysterious than people think，researchers say．Let's find out some more about them．
①Pandas eat meat
While ninety-nine percent of the panda's diet is bamboo，it also eats rice，carrots，apples and sweet potatoes．Pandas sometimes eat rodents（嚙齒動(dòng)物），deer，insects，honey，egg and fish．In 2009，scientists studied the panda genome（基因組）．They found a gene（基因） that means pandas probably can't taste flesh．But they also found genes for digesting（消化） meat．This may explain why they don't seek meat out that often．However，when the opportunity presents itself，pandas will happily eat meat．
②Pandas climb and swim
Pandas are good climbers．Even panda cubs（幼獸） can climb trees．They can also swim，though they spend most of their time on land．Pandas don't often show these two abilities．Instead，they spend most of their time resting and eating．Unlike other bear species，pandas do not hibernate（冬眠） during the winter months．
③Pandas attack
Pandas are a passive animal．When they are frightened，they will try to escape an area immediately or they will climb the nearest tree．But when they are annoyed，they can become dangerous，lowering their heads and staring at their opponents（對(duì)手）．They may use their paws（手掌） and mouths to attack．
④Pandas locate each other by smell
Pandas have an unusual breeding（繁殖） system．Females are fertile（可以繁殖的） for just one or two days a year．This means it's difficult for a female panda to become pregnant（懷孕）．Yet during this important period，males and females show a great talent for finding each other，so much that females appear to get pregnant in the wild at almost every opportunity．Researchers have found that this success comes down to their sense of smell．Pandas leave"scent posts"（氣味布告） throughout the forest by urinating（小便） on trees．Those posts give information about their owners，including their identity，sex and age．When other pandas pass they can get an idea of which other of their species have been the same way．
