Panda Wallpapers

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, lit. "black and white cat-foot"; simplified Chinese: 大熊猫; traditional Chinese: 大熊貓; pinyin: dà xióng māo, lit. "big bear cat"), also known as panda bear or simply panda, is a bear native to south central China

It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body

The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda

Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda's diet is over 99% bamboo

Giant 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 food
