History

Giant Pandas are native to Chinas central mountainous regions, thriving at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. These regions offer an ideal habitat with dense bamboo forests, misty climates, and abundant water sources. The cool and humid environment provides everything pandas need to survive, including a steady supply of bamboo, their primary food source.
