The giant panda is a rare animal unique to China and is known as a "national treasure". It is an "endangered" species on the IUCN Red List. Its scientific name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca, which means "black and white cat", but in fact the giant panda is a large mammal.

Giant pandas mainly live in sub-alpine areas in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places in China, especially in bamboo forests. Dense areas. They usually live at altitudes of 1,000-3,000 meters, where temperatures vary greatly, ranging from cold winters to warm summers. The staple food of giant pandas is bamboo, which accounts for 99% of their total food, but their diet also includes grass, vegetables and other plants. Although giant pandas are carnivores, their eating habits are so specific that some people classify them as "herbivores."

The physical characteristics of giant pandas are very obvious, and their black and white fur give them a certain camouflage effect in the forest. The body length of an adult giant panda is usually between 1.2-1.9 meters and the weight is 75-125 kilograms. Their heads are round and their eyes are big, very cute. And their claws are very strong and can easily climb trees and bamboo.

Giant pandas are typically solitary animals and usually mate only during the breeding season. Their reproductive capacity is relatively low and they only have a short mating period each year. The pregnancy period of female giant pandas is about 8 months, and they usually only give birth to one cub. The cubs are very small when born, weighing only about 150 grams.

Due to human over-exploitation and destruction of the ecological environment, the number of giant pandas has gradually decreased. In order to protect this endangered species, the Chinese government has adopted a series of protection measures, including the establishment of nature reserves, promotion and education activities, etc. Today's giant panda has become a global symbol of animal protection and is widely used in environmental education and publicity activities.
