The giant panda is a bear native to central-eastern China and southeast Asia, easily recognized by its large black spots around its eyes, ears, and body. It is an endangered species, with approximately 1,590 living in the wild and 239 in captivity in China. While normally docile, pandas will attack humans if irritated, though attacks are rare. Pandas have black and white fur and a body typical of bears, feeding almost exclusively on bamboo shoots despite being carnivores, and can live up to 30 years in captivity.
