Today, between leetings, i did a wonderful visit to Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries Chengdu. This the home to more than 30% of the world’s giant pandas.
They also have red pandas.

There is only about 1800 wild giant pandas and 2500 wild red pandas in the world.

It was truly amazing to see these beuatiful bears in their natural habitat of the santuary.
