The Giant Panda can be easily recognized by the striking contrast color combination of its black and white fur. Native to China, Panda is categorized as an omnivorous mammal, although its significant diet is bamboo besides honey, eggs, yam, fish, banana, and shrub leaves.
The Panda weighs between 120-150 kilograms, stands two and a half feet tall at the shoulder, and is approximately five feet long. At four to six inches in length, the Panda also possesses the second-longest tail in the bear family.
