The Giant Panda

The Giant Panda, scientifically known as Ailuropoda melanoleuca, is a remarkable bear species native to China's mountainous regions. Weighing up to 250 lbs, these black and white bears are classified under the Mammalia class and are currently endangered due to decreasing populations. Pandas primarily feed on bamboo, spending up to 14 hours a day foraging for it. Breeding is seasonal, with females giving birth to 1-2 cubs. Conservation efforts aim to raise panda populations to 5,000 by 2025. Learn more about their habitat, diet, and the challenges they face in the wild.
