GIANT PANDA

Ailuropoda melanoleucus

The giant panda is a native of the bamboo jungles
growing on the mountains of western Szechuan
Province, China. Although bear-like in appearance,
he and the smaller common panda are classified in a
family by themselves. His food consists of the
shoots, stalks and leaves of the bamboo. Although
living in a country of cold and snow, he does not
hibernate in the winter as do the bears of that region.
