The panda is a mammal classified in the bear family，native to central­western and southwestern China.

It is easily recognized by its large，distinctive black patches around the eyes，over the ears，and across its round body.It has a diet which is 99% bamboo and it may eat honey，oranges，and bananas when available.It is a conservation­reliant endangered species.

Although reports show that the number of wild pandas is on the rise，scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild peacefully.
