Warm-up

China?
What color is my country?
Enlarge the map of your continent.
Continue to Fun Facts
Culture Introduction
Family values are one of the most important values in China. Chinese
family loves get-togethers.
• Respect the old and cherish the young

young couple live with parents after their marriage.
552 BC-479 BC
Families get-togethers
• Special holidays: Lunar New Year, mid-autumn festival, etc.
Extinct Species
• What is extinction?
• In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a
group of organisms, normally a species. The moment of extinction
is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the
species.
• Differences between extinct species and endangered species:
• Extinct species: The last individual has died.
• Endangered species: Facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
Fun Facts
• The giant panda has been referred to as a living fossil, and its
contemporary species such as saber-toothed tiger and
mammoth are already extinct.
Fun Facts
What does the Panda Eat?
Although it is a carnivore, the panda’s diet is over
99% Bamboo
Fun Facts
• Where does the panda live?
• The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China,
mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu
provinces. A video later to show the real living environment of
Panda!
• How many pandas exist in the world?
• The panda is a conservation reliant endangered species. A 2007
report shows 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another
27 outside the country. One estimate shows that there are about
1,590 individuals living in the wild.
• Reproduction: The giant panda produces the proportionally
smallest baby of any placental mammal. When the cub is first born,
it is pink, blind, and toothless.
