I have read on an newspaper article.Giant panda bears do not hibernate because they have a year-round supply of bamboo, and also because the bamboo, which their diet mainly consists of, does not supply them with a sufficient amount of fat to store for the winter.
Instead of hibernating, giant pandas decend to lower elevations where it is warmer and they can continue to feed. The are most active in the early evening, though on occasion, they may be active throughout the day and night feeding.
