Description
Native to small pockets of south central China, pandas are a rather unique member of the bear family. Although pandas are technically considered carnivores, their diet consists almost entirely of bamboo, whereas other bear species eat a mixture of plants, berries, and meat!
- Scientific Name: Ailuropoda melanoleuca

- Size and Color: Measuring 3.75 inches long and 2.25 inches tall, this figurine is about the size of a deck of cards stood on its side. Sporting one of the most iconic colorations in the animal kingdom, pandas are easily recognizable by their white coats with distinct black patches around the eyes, ears, and legs.

History:
While their population numbers aren't decreasing as rapidly as many other endangered species, pandas are what’s known as a conservation reliant species. As the term suggests, pandas are reliant on zoos and sanctuaries in order to keep their population numbers stable. Pandas have a naturally low birth rate in the wild, and while this isn’t an issue on its own, it becomes a serious problem when their numbers and habitats are already threatened.
