Giant Pandas are a type of bear that is facing extinction. They say there only about 1,600 left in the wild, but about 300 in captivity. They currently live in China, specifically in the mountain regions. They can also grow up to 250-220 pounds along with sizes up to 6 feet. Although they have an addiction for bamboo, they are actually omnivores giving them the ability to eat meat as well.
