<P> The giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca , literally `` black and white cat - foot '' ; Chinese : 大 熊猫 ; pinyin : dà xióng māo , literally `` big bear cat '' ) , also known as panda bear or simply panda , is a bear native to south central China . It is easily recognized by the large , distinctive black patches around its eyes , over the ears , and across its round body . The name `` giant panda '' is sometimes used to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda . Though it belongs to the order Carnivora , the giant panda 's diet is over 99 % bamboo . Giant pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses , wild tubers , or even meat in the form of birds , rodents , or carrion . In captivity , they may receive honey , eggs , fish , yams , shrub leaves , oranges , or bananas along with specially prepared food . </P>
