My favorite is the giant panda. It has a round body with black and white fur, which looks very cute. It mainly lives in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Giant pandas spend most of their time eating bamboo, about 12 hours a day. Now, giant pandas are endangered because of habitat loss. We should protect their living areas and stop cutting down bamboo forests. Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
