There are only one thousand Panda bears like me left in the world. The ears, eye patches, legs and shoulder band are black - the rest of the body is white. Pandas have thick, woolly coats to insulate them from the cold.
Giant pandas are among the rarest mammals in the world.
There are fewer than 1,000 in the wild. The panda's main threats of extinction are deforestation and the segmentation of its remaining habitat and poaching. Giant pandas are found only in the mountains of central China. Giant pandas live in dense bamboo and coniferous forests at altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 feet. The mountains are shrouded in heavy clouds with torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year.
