PICTURES OF A PANDA AND HIS FIRST 120 DAYS OF LIFE
An animal sweet and unfortunately in danger of extinction: the panda.
From the WWF website:
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a newly discovered species. Although always known to the Chinese, the giant panda was made known to Westerners until 1869 by French naturalist Jesuit Father Armand David (it is called also "bear of Father David"). The first live giant pandas arrived in the West (United States) only in 1937 ...
The major threats to the survival of giant pandas are the destruction of its habitat and poaching to export the skin. The examination of images taken from satellites showed that the suitable habitat for giant pandas has decreased by 50% during the past 15 years.
More information is available on the WWF website page dedicated to the Panda.
