PANDAS Jill Caravan With 80 full-color illustrations The panda is among the world's most endangered species. As the twentieth century draws to a close, the various wildlife conservation organizations in the world collectively estimate that there are not more than one thousand pandas still in existence. Most of these remaining animals roam the bamboo forests of western and southwestern China, and about one hundred are in captivity, mainly in their native China. Only nine live in zoos outside of China. The panda has a reputation as a "gentle giant," in that it appears to be extremely clumsy, calm, and inno-cent, and is rarely depicted as aggressive or violent. Pandas are usually photographed lying on a branch or slouching against a cage or tree, looking quite casual and relaxed as though they have just woken from a nap or are still digesting a large meal. An especially charming feature is the panda's distinct black-and-white coloring. This concise and informative volume discusses the history and habits of the panda, covering such subjects as: • The first "discovery" of the giant panda in China • Pandas in the wild • Pandas in captivity • Panda behavior, including eating and sleeping, the digestive system, reproduction, and parenting • Deforestation and the preservation of the species PANDAS, another work in a popular series of books on the animal king-dom, offers the reader a fascinating photographic portrait of this magnificent and endangered species.
