  1. Endangered Species By: Jasmine Wooten

  2. Giant Panda Common Name: Giant panda

  3. Green Turtles Common Name: Green turtle; Tortue comestible, tortue franche, tortue verte

  4. Size, Weight, Wingspan GreenTurtles • Their weight is over 500 kg • The span of their forelimbs is over 3m and the leatherback turtle can be over 2m long. Giant Pandas • A large adult panda can weigh about 220-330 pounds, with males 10 percent larger and 20 percent heavier than females. • They are about five feet long from nose to rump, with a four to six inch tail.

  5. Giant Panda Diet Giant Panda’s are classified as bears so they have the digestive system of a carnivore. They have a Vegeterian diet and moistly depend on bamboo as their food source. About 1% of their diet is made up of other meat & plants. Often a panda will hunt forpikasand other small rodents.

  6. Green Turtle Diet When less than 8 to 10 inches in length they eat worms, young crustaceans, aquatic insects, grasses and algae. Once green turtles reach 8 to 10 inches in length, they mostly eat sea grass and algae, the only sea turtle that is strictly herbivorous as an adult. Their jaws are finely serrated which aids them in tearing vegetation.

  7. Population Giant Pandas • Less than 2,500 mature in the wild.

  8. Population • Green Sea turtles • Approx. 203,000nesting females

  9. Location Giant Pandas Giant pandas are located in Southwest china to the east of the Tibetan plateau.

  10. Location • Green Turtles • Mediterranean Sea, Northeast Atlantic Shelf Marine, Southern Australian Marine, ect.

  11. Reproduction of Marine turtles Distinguishing male green sea turtles from females underwater is easy on the rare occasions that you encounter members of the two sexes together. The males are the ones with the longer tails. But when seen alone, sexing the animals can be tricky and generally requires some experience. Interestingly, the sex of the offspring in all sea turtles is not determined when an egg is fertilized. Instead, the sex is determined by the temperature of the sand that surrounds the egg during incubation The incubation period varies from 50 to 70 days. The eggs usually hatch at night and the newborns quickly scramble seaward.

  12. Reproduction of Giant Pandas • Giant Pandas Pandas are erroneouslybelieved to be poor breeders, an impression based on the disappointing reproductiveperformance of captive pandas. Wild panda populations involved in long-term studies are known to have reproductive rates comparable to those of some populations of American black bears, which are thriving. • The reproductive rate is about one young every two years • Gestation takes about 95 to 160 days and pandas normally give birth to single young (twins are born more frequently in captivity, when artificial insemination is used).

  13. Climate • Green turtles While green sea turtles spend most of their time in warmer water, young turtlessometimes spend their summersin New England waters. • Giant Pandas The climate is actually very similar to Scotland. The climate in the mountains is temperate with abundant rainfall and infrequent extremes of temperature

  14. Taxonomic Groupings • Giant Pandas • Phylum: Chorclata • Genus: Ailurpoda • Species: Melanoleuca • Green Turtles • Phylum: Chordata • Genus: Chelonia • Species: C. mydas
