The Giant Panda
The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. It is one of the world’s
most threatened animals.
The giant panda is very well loved. It is a special animal for the World Wildlife
Fund. It has been their logo since the WWF was started in 1961.
Giant pandas live in forests in the mountain areas in central and southwest
China. As more roads and railway lines are built, the forest habitat is disturbed.

lot to eat - almost 28 pounds of bamboo per day!

is on the rise. But it hasn’t been enough to remove it from the endangered animal
