History

Living in the forests of Southern and Western China, the giant panda will consume up to 50 pounds of bamboo each day. Today, there are an estimated 2000 pandas alive, which makes the species quite vulnerable. While the majority are in China, there are about 600 that currently reside in zoos and parks in other countries. Currently, only 3 zoos in the United States house pandas, and they are located in Memphis, Atlanta, and Washington DC.
