Chinanews, Chengdu, November 28 ¨C Recently, some bamboos in Mianyang, Sichuan Province have entered florescence, which means that they will wither very soon. The event has triggered off widespread concern over giant pandas, as they mainly live on bamboos.

However, experts confirmed that giant pandas won¡¯t starve, as it is normal for a small proportion of bamboos growing high on the mountains to flower.

At present, about 25 hectares of bamboos planted above 2,700 meters are in blossom, which means that the giant pandas in such area will have to migrate to other places, but they definitely will survive.

Currently, about 21% of the world¡¯s giant pandas live in Mianyang.

Generally, bamboos flower when they are around 60 years old. Though global warming may have shortened this cycle, the giant pandas won¡¯t be affected so far. Local wildlife protection organization will take immediate measures if giant pandas are in danger.
