Panda

Panda, whose scientific name is Ailuropoda, is one of the most rare animals both in China and around the world. The panda has been listed as one of the first nationally protected animals in China and it is known as the national treasure of China.

At the very beginning, pandas were flesh-eating animals. With the sudden increase of population, however, pandas were forced to migrate to alpine areas. In order to avoid the competitions with the carnivorous animals there, such as black bears, pandas began to be accustomed to taking bamboos as their staple food.

World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) took panda as the organization's symbol when it was founded in 1961. There is no doubt that the panda has begun the most important symbol of species conservation. For China, in addition, the panda is also considered as an important representative to promote good will in diplomatic relations.

The video below is about the baby panda which was born in San Diego Zoo. Usually, in law, those baby pandas that are not born in China should be sent back to China. 



The following video is about the process of how a newborn baby panda grows up. It is incredible.


 
Padans are so cute that I am extremely eager for having one someday.
