The giant panda is recognized as a symbol of endangered animals. For example, the World Wildlife Federation uses the panda as its symbol.
The giant panda lives in China. Most of its diet is bamboo, and it eats mostly in the morning and evening. The giant panda weighs about 155-280 pounds, about as much as a large adult human.

The giant panda has a kind of sixth finger in its wrist which is sort of like a false thumb. It uses this to grip the bamboo stems and leaves for the other hand to tear off.
Only about a third of giant panda cubs survive longer than 6 months.
In the wild, the panda cub stays in the den for over a month, then it rides on its mom's back, and then when the cub is about 6 months old, it walks with its mom. When the cub is about 18 months old, it is able to live away from its mom.
Male giant pandas chase and fight each other for the females during mating season.
The World Wildlife Federation says that only about 1,600 pandas are left on Earth.
