Giant Panda Bear
The Giant Panda lives in the mountains of central China. It is estimated that there are about 2,000 pandas today, the population being a bit on the rise so that they are classified now as 'vulnerable', rather than 'endangered'. Only about 49 Panda Bears live outside the country in zoos; with the rest living wild.
Two of these zoo panda bears (Ya Ya and Le Le) live at the Memphis, TN Zoo which my colleague, Sylvestermouse, here at Review This Reviews has visited many times.
These beautiful panda photos are by Sylvestermouse and her wonderful description of the Giant Panda Bear can be found at her animal site Amazing Wild Animals, along with more adorable panda photos. You can also visit the Memphis Zoo virtually at The Memphis Zoo Review by Sylvestermouse. As you can see, she is a big fan of all animals, especially the Giant Panda Bear.
Panda Bears in Plush

Panda Bears are easy to recognize with their bold black & white coat and rotund body. This is a plump, plush panda bear handmade in the Amigurumi style of crochet. He measures a plump 11 inches high and 7 inches wide, and is a huggable handful of softness.
Panda bears can weight up to 250 lbs. and can grow as tall as 4 to 6 feet, so this smaller stuffed toy panda is a much better playmate for a child.
My plush Giant Panda Bear can be found in my Etsy Shop Coastal Crochet Crafts.
FUN FACT: The Giant Panda Bear goes by the names Giant Panda, Panda and Panda Bear. The scientific name for the panda has an odd meaning. The name Ailuropoda melanoleuca means black and white cat food! I guess it doesn't translate well. :) There is also a Red Panda Bear, but that's another story!
