Giant Panda. Ailuropoda melanoleuca. As Chinaâs unofficial mascot and the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund, the giant panda is one of the most beloved animals in the world. It is also one of the more endangered species in the world, with only about 1000-2000 living in the wild.iant pandas are currently classified on IUCNâs Red List as an endangered species. One the main reasons that pandas have become endangered is habitat destruction. As the population in China continues to grow, pandasâ habitat gets taken over by development, pushing them into smaller and less livable areas.
