The '''giant panda''' is a very lovable [[bear]] that inhabits the mountainous [[bamboo]] forests of central [[China]], mainly in the province of Sichuan. Mind you, bamboo makes up >99% of its diet. Other bear species are mostly omnivorous, with the only exception being the carnivorous [[polar bear]].

The giant panda is actually the second animal to be called "panda". The first was the smaller [[musteloid]], the [[red panda]]. Thankfully, it is a bear, making it less closely related to [[pinniped]]s from red pandas, though that doesn't mean they're off the hook either.
