| Popis: | The familiar black and white giant panda is famous throughout China and the world as a symbol of the plight of endangered species. Fossil remains show that the giant panda was formerly distributed over a much larger area than today, reaching Burma, northern Vietnam, and much of eastern and southern China. Historical records in China also demonstrate that it was formerly much more widespread than today. Figure 8.1 shows this declining range of the giant panda. |
