Oh Madeleine, another big/good question!! You help me learn the best things! I'm sure pandas are here because they are soooo cute and fascinating!
I know they are only found in Asia (unless you find them in a zoo), they are an endangered species and they are related to raccoons!
Have a look on the Encyclopedia Britannica Elementary site - they have some interesting info. Come and see me or ask your teacher if you need the password sheet.
