Adorable Pandas

The Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding near Chengdu, Sichuan China is where pandas and other animals that are classified as endangered species are kept, protected and cared for. According to the tour guide, it is estimated that there are about 2,000 of them in the world and can usually live up to 25 to 30 years old in captivity. They feed mainly on bamboos (90% of their diet). Zoos pay about one million dollars (US) to the Chinese government in terms of loan fees . If you are interested to see the pandas, the address is 26, Panda Road, Chengdu or at your national zoo.
