The Red panda was the first panda discovered in 1821, forty-eight years before the giant black and white pandas were found in 1869.
The Giant lovable and charismatic panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most endangered. Found only in China, one of the world's most populous countries, the giant panda clings to survival, facing habitat fragmentation and poaching as its greatest threats. It is estimated that as few as 1,600 pandas remain in the wild today.
The scientific name of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca, means "black and white cat-footed." Over the past 3,000 years, the much-loved panda has acquired over 30 different Chinese names. Today, the most widely used Chinese name is da xiongmao (dah-shung-mah-ow), translated into English it means "large bear-cat."
The Legend of How Pandas Got Their Markings
Long ago a family of humble shepherds made its home in the remote hills of China. Each day the shepherds led their animals to graze in the pastures near the bamboo forest. Frequently a little panda would wander from the forest to join the flock. Perhaps the young panda mistook the sheep for its own kind, for in those days pandas were all white. One day, as the panda roamed among the sheep, a huge leopard sprang from the forest. The sheep scattered and ran away, but the little panda was too slow to escape. He surely would have been killed by the leopard if not for the bravery of a young shepherdess. She ran to her friend's aid and began beating the leopard furiously with a stick. The leopard turned from the panda and attacked the girl. Although she fought bravely, the shepherdess was no match for the leopard. News of the shepherdess' brave deed quickly spread through the forest. When the other pandas heard the story, they began to cry and throw ashes upon themselves in mourning. As they wiped their tears away, their dirty paws left dark smudges around their eyes. As they hugged each other, their paws stained their arms and legs. And when the pandas tried to muffle the sound of their sobs by covering their ears, they blackened them as well. Ever since that day, pandas have worn these markings out of respect for the shepherdess who died so that one of their kind might live.

Fossil evidence indicates that giant pandas were widely distributed throughout eastern China, as far north as Beijing, and as far west as Burma. Currently, they are only found in mountainous areas of southwestern China. Most of the wild population live in the province of Sichuan; some pandas also inhabit the provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi.

A Mormon elder kidnapped by North Korea?
Ryufei
I heard a news that one Mormon guy, who was blond in his 20's, was abducted in car in Yunnan province, China in August 2004 and was transferred to North Korean via Myanmar. This was the 1st US citizen case of the N. Korea abduction victims.
I heard The U.S Committee for Human Rights in North Korea held a press conference several days before and revealed this fact.
Is this true story? and this topic popular there?
Thanks. But it was in August 2004.
