Meet the Giant Panda!

Giant pandas are the most popular animals in the world.

Pandas don’t like to spend time with each other. In the wild, pandas go out of their way to avoid each other.

At birth the babies are blind and almost hairless.

A certain type of bamboo died and hundreds of pandas starved to death.
