Too often we see news articles about our rarest and most precious species edging closer and closer to extinction.<!--more--> But in a welcome bit of good news within the wildlife world, the giant panda was downgraded from \u2018Endangered\u2019 to \u2018Vulnerable\u2019 on the list of species at risk of extinction back in September 2016. But still, alongside the little red panda, these animals remain at risk.<\/p>\n<p>The giant panda has long been one of the world\u2019s most beloved animals. Synonymous with the WWF, their clumsy, cute personalities have warmed the hearts of millions around the world. To celebrate the steadied growth in population, we have created a list of our favourite panda photos for you all to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2>Facts about Pandas<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Giant pandas spend 12 hours a day eating<\/li>\n<li>The world famous WWF logo was inspired by Chi-Chi, the giant panda brought to London Zoo in 1961, the same time the WWF was created<\/li>\n<li>Even though 99% of their diet is made up of bamboo, giant pandas actually have carnivorous teeth<\/li>\n<li>Giant pandas rely on spatial memory, not visual memory. Animals that use visual memory retain shapes and colours, whereas spatial memory is responsible for information about locations<\/li>\n<li>Both giant and red pandas have a thumb-like digit which they use to grab bamboo sticks and shoots<\/li>\n<li>Red pandas have a web browser named after them.
