The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally "black and white cat-foot", A大熊猫, dà xióng māo, literally "big bear cat") is a large, distinctive looking black and white bear native to mountain ranges in south Central China, most notably the Sichuan province. As a result of farming, deforestation and other development, the panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived and is currently categorized as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat at the Smithsonian National Zoo is a state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor exhibit designed to replicate the pandas' natural habitat in China. The zoo's pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, have lived there, on lan from the China Wildlife Conservation Association, since 2000. Their first male cub, Tai Shan, was born in 2005 and returned to China in 2010. Their first female cub, Bao Bao, was born in 2013, and then their second male cub, Being Bei, followed in 2015. The first Giant pandas arrived at the National Zoo as a gift by the government of China following President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit.
