PANDA
♥ Jumat, 21 Oktober 2011 @ 10/21/2011
The
giant panda, or
panda (
Ailuropoda melanoleuca,
literally meaning "black and white cat-foot") is a bear native to central-western and south western China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo. Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared feed.
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in
Sichuan province, but also in the
Shaanxi and
Gansu provinces.Due to farming,
deforestation and other development, the panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.
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.Wild population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild
], while a 2006 study via
DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000. Some reports also show that the number of pandas in the wild is on the rise. However, the
IUCN does not believe there is enough certainty yet to reclassify the species from Endangered to Vulnerable.
