​Facts about PANDA

​The giant panda’s scientific name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca, which means “black and white cat-foot”.

​

​​Pandas are BIG eaters – every day they fill their tummies for up to 12 hours, shifting up to 12 kilograms of bamboo!

​

​Sadly, these beautiful bears are endangered, and it’s estimated that only around 1,000 remain in the wild. That’s why we need to do all we can to protect them!
