揭秘熊猫

According to a new study, giant pandas have very low daily energy expenditure. For example, a 90-kg panda expends less than half the energy of a 90-kg human. Using GPS loggers attached to pandas we discovered that they rest for more than half of a day and on average, only walks 20 meters an hour.
