PANDAS IN THE WILD

Giant pandas are one of the most specialized mammals in the world – bamboo shoots and roots form almost 99 percent of their diet-which is why they are extremely vulnerable to the destruction of their habitat.

“Pandas In The Wild” is an up-close look at the secret lives of these rare mammals. Take a journey into the mountains of southwestern China for an intimate portrait of one of the world’s most treasured animals.
