Description

When: October 16, 2017

Where: Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenen, The Netherlands

When one of the Giant Pandas moved to go outside, I immediately ran off to photograph him in the greenery. He really gave me a show and offered some pretty good moments to photograph his pretty face

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”.
