The common name for the giant panda is simply "panda." These beloved bears are native to China and are famous for their distinctive black-and-white coloring. They primarily inhabit bamboo forests, where they spend most of their time eating bamboo, which constitutes over 99% of their diet. Pandas are adored worldwide, serving as symbols of wildlife conservation and representing various environmental organizations. Despite their appealing appearance, giant pandas are considered a vulnerable species, facing threats from habitat loss and low birth rates, prompting significant conservation efforts to protect them.
