Description
When: November 21, 2019
Where: Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenen, The Netherlands
Love it when animals pose for us, and it really felt like this one was doing exactly that, just for us 
Species: Giant Panda [Bear] (Reuzenpanda)
Latin name: Ailuropoda Melanoleuca
Originates from south central China.
Current status: Vulnerable
Did you know:
…It’s Latin name – Ailuropoda Melanoleuca – literally means “black and white cat-foot”, and it’s Chinese name literally translates to “big bear cat”.
…The name “Panda” was originally used solely for the Red Panda, but when
the two were thought to be related, the Panda name was adapted to include Giant and Red to distinguish the two. Till 1901, the Giant Panda was actually known as the “Black And White Cat-Footed Animal”.
