Fluffy Chinese National Treasure – 7 Pictures + 3 Videos
Once upon a time, in the Far East, the cute black and white bear has been found. It was born with a huge black eyespot and while it was growing up, the circles become shaped as a tear drop. Their ancestor was a “cat bear” that lived 8 million years ago. Ailuropoda or a “cat bear” was half the size of today’s modern giant pandas.

Ying-yang story
If you pay attention at the Ying and Yang circle, maybe it can remind you of a panda. Many Chinese philosophers think that the universe is made of two opposite forces, known as Ying and Yang. There is also a belief that the gentle nature of the pandas demonstrates how the Ying and Yang bring peace, joy, and harmony when they are in a perfect balance.

Thumbs up for this cutie
There is a huge division between captive and wild pandas. Wild pandas don’t behave friendly with people at all. They have a reputation of cute and harmless creatures but in fact, the truth is very different. Baby pandas are a little bit different, and like playing with everyone. This is how it looks like when a Zookeeper wants to prepare the food for them, and a little baby panda doesn’t want to let him do it.
