It means a black and white bearalike creature, who always seems happy and playful, and to us in Brentwood it signifies the spirit of the Senior class. A few years ago Panda was an unknown animal, but to-day he is in our zoo. we see him on pins, shaped in candy, in pictures and even as the Senior Mascot. So we all know him well. St. Louis is one of the four cities in the United States to have Pandas in its zoo. Just to prove he isnit the product of someone's imagination, in case you were wondering, here is some factual information about the Panda. Nine Giant Pandas have been brought out of China successfully since 1956, most of them babies. The St. Louis Zoo's Panda is the first wild- raised, mature specimen to be displayed and weighs 240 pounds. The Chinese government has now banned the further exportation of the Giant Panda. London, New York, Chicago and St. Louis exhibit the Giant Panda. -The great Panda of North Western China and Tibet is marvelously bear-likeg but its cousin,the long-tailed Panda with its long slim body, its bushy tail and its claws, which can be moved in and out of its sheathes, suggest an animal in which Nature had two minds. She began a bear and left the creature almost a cat. Thus, this common Panda is known as the cat-bear, a very helpful description. Until 1956 only aborigional tribsmen living along the Chinese- Tibetan border, a limited number of Chinese and a few explorers had ever seen a living Giant Panda. Late in that year a Giant Panda was cape tured as a baby in Szechwan province in Western China and brought to the United States. So secretive and solitary is this animal, hidden in the impenetrable bamboo forests, that it is regarded with superstition and is little known to the Chinese themselves. A fragment of a skin was sent to the Paris Museum in 1969 by Father Armand David, a French mis- sionary-scientist and since then the Giant Panda has remained one of the last puzzles of the warm-blooded animal Kingdom. p Despite its bear-like appearance, the Giant Panda is more closely related to the raccoon than the bear. Although related to both of these flesh-eating animals, the Giant Panda became a vegetarian and feeds on the leaves and shoots of bamboo. The bamboo shelters it, growing so dense that a few, if any, other mammals can live and find nourishment in its thickets. Thus fed and sheltered, this defensless and conspicuously marked animal has survived,through the ages. To bring a slender bamboo shoot to its mouth, the Giant Panda has developed remarkable use of its paws. And to grind the shoots it has developed a set of teeth with strong, wide molars. The soles of its feet are covered with hair, possibly a protection against the splinters of broken bamboo shafts. The range and number of the Giant Panda is un- determined, but the foundation of its existence, the bamboo forests, is limited in area and does not extend into Tibet. The Giant Panda is so-called to distinguish it from the Lesser Pan- da which resembles a raccoon and is about the size of a fox. Its range is more extensive than its larger cousin's, but it is also a vegetarian, - Metta Schaefer 'fr , ' , , ,a 1' ' . . .. , f..J . Kg, 1, L ,.,, 9
