The giant panda is not a cat, it belongs to the bear family. Even though it has the word "panda" in its name, that's just because it has black and white spots that make it look like a feline. In fact, giant pandas have typical bear characteristics, such as a strong build, stubby paws and round ears.


Giant pandas are herbivorous animals that feed on bamboo and mainly inhabit the mountainous areas of southwest China. They have a very cute appearance and are known as "national treasures" and "messengers of world peace."


Due to human activities and habitat destruction, giant pandas currently face threats to their survival. In order to protect giant pandas, the Chinese government has taken many measures, such as establishing nature reserves, strengthening habitat restoration, and carrying out breeding protection. Currently, giant pandas have been elevated from endangered species status, but still require global attention and protection.
