Sichaun is home to 30% of the Giant Panda population.
15 Sanctuaries and Scenic Parks devoted to them are set aside for a wild population of about 2060.
Most are found in the Min Mountains.
These gentle giants are omnivores and will eat grasses, tubers and occasionally meat...but 99% of their diet is bamboo shoots and leaves.
A common term for them in China is simply "Bamboo Bear".
They are about 6 feet long and can weigh up to 350 pounds.
Their paws have five fingers and a thumb to hold food.
They live about 30 years in captivity and 20 in the wild.
