We urge you to visit the official Pandas International website and learn more about these majestic creatures.

The Giant Panda, one of the most delightful and captivating of animals, is also one of the most endangered. The best scientific estimates place the number of wild pandas at approximately 1,600. Pandas are known around the world for their unique black and white appearance. Pandas resemble other bears in their shape, but have very distinctive markings. All pandas have black patches around their eyes, and black ears on a white head. Their legs are black and there is a black band across their backs. Their mid sections are also white. It is very difficult to tell pandas apart since their markings are basically the same on all animals. The panda caretakers can identify individual pandas by small markings around their mouth or muzzle.

The Giant Panda was once widespread in southern and eastern China, Vietnam and Myanmar (Burma). Today the panda is limited to the mountains in a few Chinese provinces in southwestern China.

Difficult Times for the Giant Panda

The panda's primary food source, bamboo is decreasing. Bamboo grows under the shade cover of the large fir trees. Logging and clearing the land for agricultural uses is a major factor in the reduction of bamboo.

Human incursion into the panda's native region has resulted in a dramatic degradation of the panda's habitat and food supply. The biodiversity of the region is at significant risk. This magnificent animal, a survivor of the ice age and centuries beyond, is now in grave danger of becoming extinct.
