Pandas are immediately recognizable and easy to remember due to their extremely unique black white black white pattern markings from back to front and their raccoon like black mask face.
Pandas have played a role also in our every day life as a gift of peace between China and the USA. Pandas have had recent success in breeding in captivity and continue to survive as well in the wild, however, the Panda is threatened as it continues to survive in the wild.
Originally Pandas were found throughout the world, however, today Pandas are only found in the remote "wet" mountain areas of central China. The reason Pandas are only found there is that is where the bamboo that Pandas need to survive grows in adequate abundance.
