Introduction of giant panda:

Giant pandas have lived on the earth for at least 8 million years. They are known as "living fossils" and "national treasures of China". They are the image ambassadors of WWF and the flagship species of biodiversity conservation in the world. According to the third national wild panda population survey, there are less than 1600 wild pandas in the world, which belong to the national first-class protected animals.

Giant pandas eat meat at first. Through evolution, 99% of their food is bamboo, but their teeth and digestive tract remain unchanged. They are still classified as carnivores. When they are angry, they are as dangerous as other bears. The life span of wild giant pandas is 18 ~ 20 years old, and it can reach over 30 years old in captivity.
