Pandas are large, black-and-white bears native to the mountainous regions of China. They primarily eat bamboo, which makes up about 99% of their diet. Despite being classified as carnivores, their digestive system is more similar to that of herbivores. Pandas are known for their distinctive appearance and playful behavior, often seen rolling and climbing in trees. The Giant Panda is the most recognized species, while the Red Panda is smaller and has a different diet. Both species are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and low birth rates. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their natural habitats and increase their populations.
