The giant panda, with its distinctive black and white markings, is one of the world’s most  famous and easily recognised animals. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most endangered. The giant panda is native to the bamboo forests of central and south-western China, and its diet is composed nearly exclusively of bamboo. It is a large, gentle animal, and even in the wild it has almost no predators. However, it is facing near-extinction because the size of its natural habitat has decreased greatly. This is because huge sections of China’s bamboo forest have been cut down and converted to farmland. Although many giant pandas now live in captivity - in zoos and wildlife research centres - scientists have had problems encouraging them to breed in these places. As a result, population figures for giant pandas are still very low.
