Breeding in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan province July 26, 2007. The giant
panda is one of the world's most endangered species and is found only in China.
An estimated 1,600 wild pandas live in nature reserves in Sichuan, Gansu and
Shaanxi provinces, and 217 are kept in captivity. The panda, together with
Tibetan antelope, swallow, fish and the spirit of the Olympic flame are
represented by the five stylised doll mascots for the 2008 Olympic games.
