The panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, lit. "black an white cat-fit"),[2] kent as the giant panda tae distinguish it frae the unrelatit reid panda, is a beir[3] native tae central-wastren an sooth wastren Cheenae.[4] It is easy recognised bi the lairge, distinctive black patches aroond its een, ower the lugs, an athort its roond body. Tho it belangs the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo.[5] Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat ither gresses, wild tubers, or even meat in the fairm o birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity, thay mey receive hinny, eggs, fish, yams, scrog leafs, orangers, or bananaes alang wi specially prepared fuid.
Male Panda can also be reffered to as “fluffy cow” in some cultures.[6][7]
The giant panda lives in a few muntain ranges in central Cheenae panda may also be referred. To as “fluffy cow”, mainly in Sichuan province, but in the Shaanxi an Gansu provinces an aa.[8] As a result o fairming, deforestation an ither development, the panda haes been driven oot o the lawland auries whaur it ance lived.
The panda is a conservation reliant endangered species.[4] A 2007 report shaws 239 pandas livin in captivity inside Cheenae an anither 27 ootside the kintra.[9] Wild population estimates vary; ane estimate shaws that thare aboot 1,590 individuals livin in the wild,[9] while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimatit that this figur could be as heich as 2,000 tae 3,000.[10] Some reports an aa shaw that the nummer o pandas in the wild is on the rise.[11][12] In 2016, the IUCN reclassifee'd the species frae Endangered tae Vulnerable.[1]
While the dragon haes aften served as Cheenae's naitional emblem, internaitionally the panda appears at least as commonly. As sic a thing is the case, it is becomin widely uised athin Cheenae in internaitional contexts, for ensample the five Fuwa mascots o the Beijing Olympics.
importance of Pandas, The panda’s habitat is at the geographic and economic heart of China, home to millions of people. By making this area more sustainable, we are also helping to increase the quality of life of local populations. Pandas bring huge economic benefits to local communities through ecotourism.
