to explain the activities of the animals, but not detract from the central focus-the pictures themselves. At the end of the book is a delightful chapter on the red panda, a less frequently photographed species. Overall, this book is a treasure that you will want to look at time after time. Excellent Value 4 moneybook.Would like to see Larger Paperback Format with PANDAS photogaphs/Mountains in background Sichuan looks stunning this would be a Brillant adition to anyone who loves to view The Giant Panda in its natural habitat. This is a photographic book of pandas and is jam packed with lovely full colour photographs of wild pandas and even includes a section at the end with pictures of wild red pandas. Would have been nice to have had more text information on wild pandas but it is a lovely book anyway. The photos follow through the year of the panda.
