Ailuropoda melanoleuca (David, 1869)

大熊猫(學名:Ailuropoda melanoleuca)屬於食肉目熊科,是中國的特有種,也是大熊猫亚科的仅存物种。其体型肥硕,皮毛厚韧,头圆尾短,通体多呈黑白两色。大熊猫栖息于海拔2000—3500米的森林中,主要以竹类植物为食,是昼夜兼行的独栖动物。其每日的活动时间中,约有一半用于进食,另一半则用于睡眠。 大熊猫分布于中国四川省、陕西省及甘肃省南部的山区,现存约2700只(截止2025年)。尽管IUCN于2016年末将大熊猫的受威胁程度从“濒危”降为“易危”,但其仍被视为生态保护的标志性物种,被尊为“中国国宝”与“活化石”,更被世界自然基金会称作“世上最具代表性和可爱的动物”、列入“全球优先保护的13个旗舰物种”之一。
