Talk:Giant panda

panda changpei liu

Pandas are one of the most precious animals in the world. They are white and black.They look fat and funny.Theyeat bamboo.People all over the world like them very much. There used to be many pandas in China long ago. As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less. But at present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them. The biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

Giant panda → Panda – There was a recent move discussion about the primary topic of panda with the consensus that the giant panda is the primary topic. I suggest moving this article to a more concise title to reflect this. 23.25.229.66 (talk) 17:00, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

"Primary topic" does not mean that the species article should be named thus. The accepted common name of the species is "giant panda", not "panda", colloquial usage notwhithstanding. Leave it where it is. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:58, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Concision is one of the article naming criteria, but so is precision; the current title is precise. Dekimasuよ! 19:05, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Change "BBC Nature: Giant panda news, and video clips from BBC programmes past and present" to" Lovely panda: A website for all panda lovers ". Yedi2012 (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Why? Sure, the link's broken, but why that website and not perhaps another BBC page (or an archive of the existing link)? Especially as the only 'Lovely Panda' site I can find appears to be a shopping website. Not exactly a proper replacement for a news site. Sumanuil (talk) 08:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

In the first paragraph, the neighboring Red Panda is referred to as a mustelid. Red pandas are not a member of the mustelidae family, but are part of the musteloidae superfamily. This is probably meant to say "musteloid" rather than "mustelid." Family-wise, the red panda would be the only extant Ailurid. 99.19.85.228 (talk) 14:31, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

The Giant Panda are usually most active in winter and spring with sun light present, yet they are not very active when the temperature is high.
