Nowadays, most of giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces in China. They live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. Giant panda, which are easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body, have a body typical of bears. Their thick, wooly coats keep them warm in the cool forests of their habitats. With large molar teeth and strong jaw muscles for crushing tough bamboo, giant pandas can be as dangerous as any other bears.

Because of their baby-like cuteness and innocence while peacefully eating bamboo, giant pandas are favorite of the public and an emblem for China. In the film of Kung Fu Panda, American style of cuteness and humouness is integrated into the characteristics of the giant panda, resulting in the acceptance by both Chinese and American kids and adults.
