it is a mammal and it eats bamboo. it is black and white.
Giant pandas are large (about 2.5 ft. tall and 300 pounds) bears with a black and white coat and characteristic black fur around their eyes, native to parts of China. They have a relatively long tail at up to 6 inches in length, as well as a "thumb" which helps it eat bamboo. Its diet mostly consists of bamboo. It is a fairly solitaire animal, limiting social interactions and not traveling together. Currently, it is considered endangered with only a few thousand in the wild.

The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally meaning "cat-foot black-and-white") is a bear native to central-western and southwestern China.[2] The Giant Panda was previously thought to be a member of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family.[3] It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though belonging to the order Carnivora, the Giant Panda has a diet which is 99% bamboo. The Giant Panda may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, Oranges, and bananas when available.
