Panda tinggal di wilayah pegunungan, seperti [[Sichuan]] dan [[Tibet]].

The '''Giant Panda''' ([[Chinese language|Chinese]]: 熊貓; [[pinyin]]: xióng māo), ''Ailuropoda melanoleuca'' ("black-and-white cat-foot"), is a [[mammal]] now usually classified in the [[bear]] family, [[Ursidae]], that is native to central [[China]]. The Giant Panda lives in [[mountain]]ous regions, like [[Sichuan]] and [[Tibet]]. Toward the latter half of the [[20th century]], the panda became somewhat of a [[national emblem]] for [[China]], and is now used in Chinese [[gold coin]]s.

Meskipun secara [[taksonomi]]s ia adalah [[karnivora]], makanannya sebagian besar [[herbivora]]. Malah, panda makan hampir hanya [[bambu]] saja. Secara teknis, seperti banyak hewan, panda adalah [[omnivora]], karena mereka diketahui juga memakan [[telur]], dan juga [[serangga]] selain bambu. Kedua makanan ini adalah sumber [[protein]] yang diperlukan. [[Telinga]]nya bergerak-gerak saat mereka mengunyah.
Despite being [[taxonomy|taxonomically]] a [[carnivore]], their [[diet (nutrition)|diet]] is overwhelmingly [[herbivore|herbivorous]]. In fact, it lives almost entirely on [[bamboo]]. Technically, like many animals, they are [[omnivore]]s, as pandas have been known to eat [[egg (food)|eggs]], and they consume some [[insect]]s along with their bamboo diet.
These are necessary sources of [[protein]].
Their [[ear]]s wiggle when they chew.
Panda juga masih saudara dengan [[Panda Merah]], tetapi namanya yang mirip tampaknya berasal dari kesamaan kebiasaan mereka memakan bambu. Sebelum hubungannya dengan Panda Merah ditemukan pada tahun [[1901]], Panda Besar dikenal sebagai ''beruang berwarna dua''.
It is also distantly related to the [[Red Panda]], but the shared name appears to derive from their common bamboo diet. Until its relation with the Red Panda was discovered in [[1901]], the Giant Panda was known as '''parti-coloured bear'''.

The Giant Panda was first made known to the West in [[1869]] by the [[France|French]] [[missionary]] [[Armand David]] ([[1826]]–[[1900]]). The Giant Panda has long been a favourite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like [[cuteness]] that makes it seem to resemble a living [[teddy bear]]. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence.
In [[1998]] a [[lawsuit]] filed by the WWF spurred the [[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]] to require U.S. [[zoo]]s seeking to import pandas to ensure that half of the fee charged by China be channeled into [[conservation]] efforts for wild pandas and their habitat before the service will issue a permit allowing the pandas to be imported.
