What do pandas eat for breakfast? If you know the
answer, you have an idea of what you might be seeking. Cache is not
in the Tuckahoe WMA, but photo of panda was taken very near there.
There is no need to go down into the pit or even close to the edge.
Cache is not hidden in any of the usual places. Definitely not snow
friendly. FTF to RDOwens.
Apples, potatoes and carrots are part of the diet of
the Giant Panda's in the Smithsonian's National Zoo, but one more
food is very important as the staple of their diet.
Giant pandas are by nature solitary animals, for most of the time
avoiding direct contact with others of their own kind. But at
crucial stages in their lives pandas, like all solitary mammals,
are forced to spend time with each others. In spring they may go
out in pairs trying to find caches which contain food and
treats.
Giant pandas generally avoid contacting with each
other in the wild. In their dense habitat their coat may help make
animals conspicuous to each other and prevent them from surprising
themselves by approaching too close to another of their own
kind.
Pandas signify aggression by lowering their heads and
staring at their opponents.
To signal submissiveness, a panda will put its head between its
front legs, often hiding its eye-patches with its paws. At close
range aggression is signaled by a swipe with a paw, or by a
low-pitched growl or bark that will send an opponent scampering up
the nearest tree.
Please practice some of these submissive moves before you
seek this cache. You probably won't encounter any pandas, but when
you are near their primary food source, who knows? Wear blaze
orange during hunting seasons.
