Giant Panda

Giant Panda is a bear. It is a very cute bear. Giant Pandas are native in South western China. They typically live in mountains. They eat bamboo. In the history, dragon served as China's national emblem. At the present, panda also serves as the emblem for China. Giant Panda is an endangered species. There are about 239 pandas living in cages and more than thousand of panda living in the wild. And another 27 pandas are living in another country. In the past, China sent their panda out to another country such as America, England, German, Japan, Thailand, etc. to serve as an ambassador but now China government have already changed their policy. They just lend panda but not give. Panda can live in another country for 10 years after that the country must send panda back to China. The fees of lending are 1,000,000 US dollars and any offsprings during lending belong to China and must be send back to China as well.
