panda

China's beloved bear

A panda is a large black-and-white bear native to China, known for eating bamboo and serving as a symbol of wildlife conservation.

The term usually means the giant panda; the red panda is a smaller, unrelated animal with reddish fur and a bushy tail.

We saw the pandas at the zoo.
