What are the different types of pandas? The giant panda can attain a height of 4 to 6 feet. It lives in the forests of southwest China, and its diet consists largely of bamboo. The red panda is about 42 inches long, including its tail, and is found in southwest China and in the eastern Himalayas. While it relies on bamboo for most of its sustenance, it also dines on berries, insects and bird eggs. Both types of pandas are endangered.
In 2008, our panda loan was extended for another five years and was renewed in 2013. Of the six pandas born at our zoo, five now live in China, per our loan agreement, where they continue to make us proud! The San Diego Zoo is currently home to three giant pandas: Bai Yun, Gao Gao, and Xiao Liwu.
