Giant panda at Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China
This giant panda seems content to be indulging in his favourite snack at the Wolong National Nature Reserve in the mountains of Sichuan, China. Bamboo makes up 99 per cent of a panda’s diet and it must consume upwards of 30 pounds of bamboo shoots each day to meet its dietary needs. This presents a predicament as human development continues to encroach on the bamboo forests of pandas’ natural habitat. Panda Day, celebrated on March 16, aims to spread awareness about this iconic species.
