It's National Panda Day: Here are 15 adorable pandas photos to brighten your day!
It’s National Panda Day, which means you should take some time to appreciate giant panda bears and realize that — because of their ubiquity in pop culture— you might be taking them for granted.
That’s right. You might not have known that the black and white bear that is depicted just about everywhere was until recently considered an endangered species.
The origins of National Panda Day are largely unknown, but it’s safe to say that its creators would probably want you to know that there are only a few more than 1,800 giant pandas in the world, according to the World Wildlife Fund. They’re considered a “vulnerable” species by animal experts.
Okay, enough gloom. You’re here to see some pandas. Here are 15 of our best panda photos in honor of National Panda Day.
