On weekends Peter's family from Chengdu 2 enjoy doing some outdoor activities like riding. But last weekend was 3 — they went to visit the Chengdu Giant Panda Museum. It 4 them about 30 minutes by car.
The museum was first 5 to the public on March 3rd, 2021. With a built area of 7,179 m² and a display area of 4,342 m², the 6 is believed to be the world's first interactive-experience(互动体验) one with a giant panda theme. Peter learnt much about giant pandas. 7 , he knew that French man Jean Pierre was the first Westerner to discover giant pandas in 1869. Another fact 8 him a lot—giant pandas used to be carnivores (食肉动物). He couldn't believe these lovely 9 eaters used to eat meat.
Peter also knew that there are two 10 of pandas in China — Sichuan giant pandas and Qinling giant pandas. These two types don't 11 the same. The former (前者) looks more like a bear 12 a bigger and oval head while the latter has a rounder head and shorter mouth— they look more like a cat.
They didn't leave the museum 13 it was time for lunch. On the way home, Peter's dad asked, "Do you know 14 pandas have a sixth thumb?" Peter answered, "Sure. They 15 it to catch, break off and process bamboo."
