The giant panda is a bear native to China that is classified as an endangered species. It has black and white fur and small ears, and lives mainly in bamboo forests. There are two species of giant panda, which differ in color and geographic location. Pandas have a herbivorous diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo, which they must consume in large quantities due to its low nutritional value. Their habitat and reproduction have been threatened by human activity like deforestation, leading conservationists to advocate for protecting panda reserves and raising awareness of their plight.
