Ke kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i nā panda, ʻo ka panda nui a i ʻole ka bea panda. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka bea ʻohe a i ʻole ka bea paw. He mammal ia o ka ʻohana bea. Aia kekahi panda liʻiliʻi, i kapa ʻia ʻo "cat bear".
Kūleʻa ka panda ma muli o kona hulu ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo. Aia ma luna o hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi mai ka ihu a lalo. He ʻuʻu liʻiliʻi wale nō kona huelo. Aia ma kahi o 80 a 160 kilokani kona kaumaha. Ua like ke kaumaha me hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha kāne makua.
Noho nā pandas ma kahi wahi liʻiliʻi loa o Kina. No laila he ʻano maʻamau lākou. He holoholona a mea kanu paha e ola ana ma kahi kiko'ī wale nō.
ʻAʻole he 2,000 o lākou i koe i ka nahele. Ua mālama pono ʻia ʻoe. ʻO ia ke kumu i hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻonui iki i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. No laila ʻaʻole e pau ka panda, hānai ʻia ia ma nā zoo he nui.
Moe nā Panda i nā ana a i ʻole nā māwae i ka lā. Ala lākou i ka pō e ʻimi ana i kā lākou ʻai. ʻAi nui lākou i nā lau ʻohe, akā ʻo nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe, nā anuhe, a me nā vertebrates liʻiliʻi. Ma ka zoo, maʻa pū lākou i ka meli, nā hua manu, nā iʻa, nā huaʻai, nā meloni, ka maiʻa, a me ka ʻuala. Noho lākou e ʻai e like me ke kanaka.
He mehameha nā Panda. I ka pūnāwai wale nō lākou e hui ai e hoʻopalau. A laila holo hou ke kāne. Hāpai ka makuahine i kāna mau holoholona ʻōpiopio i loko o kona ʻōpū no lalo o ʻelua mahina.

ʻO ka waiū o ke kahu hānai ʻōpio mai ka makuahine mai ma kahi o ʻewalu mahina. Ma mua iki naʻe, ʻai pū ia i nā lau. Haʻalele ke keiki i kona makuahine i ka makahiki hoʻokahi a me ka hapa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ia wale nō ka moe kolohe ma kahi o ʻelima a ʻehiku mau makahiki. Ma laila wale nō e hiki ai ke ʻōpio. ʻO ka panda maʻamau ke ola ma kahi o 20 mau makahiki.
