While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the Giant
Panda has also served as an emblem for the country.
Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.
The species is a favorite of the public, at least in part because many people find that it has a baby-like cuteness.
Also, it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting,
which adds to its image of innocence. Wikipedia.org
The Giant Panda is one of the most precious animals in the world.
In China they live in areas of rolling hills or mountain ranges in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shanxi Province.
They are small in number and therefore designated as an endangered species and under first-level protection.
Giant Panda in China is considered a National Treasure.
The endangered panda is revered as a national symbol in China, where about 1,600 pandas live in the wild.
