貓熊雖然體型龐大，但賣萌程度完全不輸其他動物。就像這隻貓熊「細雪」，現在正在中國四川臥龍中國保護研究中心認識新環境，但是在以前牠們其實就像大腳怪一樣神秘而且很難被發現，國家地理雜誌將照片分享在網路上後，讓許多網友直呼，「太可愛啦！」

照片中的貓熊細雪，躲在樹後面的的模樣十分療癒，其實牠們已經存在了數百萬年，在中國古書籍中也有被記載，但是直到最後一個世紀，才真正被西方世界所知，在捕捉到第一隻後，科學家們也終於成功研究出該如何繁殖貓熊寶寶。

Because of their low-energy diet, pandas avoid stressful situations and exertion. It’s hard to imagine, but these animals were once as mythical and elusive as Bigfoot. They have been around for millions of years, but were only made known to the western world within the last century. The first panda was captured alive only in 1936. After years of research, scientists have learned how to successfully breed pandas in captivity. With an adult population estimated at more than 1,864 wild pandas and 500 captive pandas, they have been upgraded from endangered to threatened. In a region where bad environmental news is common, China is on its way to successfully saving its most famous ambassador. I have been working on a new book featuring my long-term panda work made on assignment for National Geographic.

身為中國國寶的貓熊，因為外型無辜討喜，深受許多人喜愛，但是牠們很早之前就因自身不易繁殖、過去的人們過度獵捕，和侵占貓熊棲地，而被列為瀕危物種，直到2016年末，世界自然保護聯盟（IUCN）才將大貓熊的受威脅等級從「瀕危級」降為「易危級」。
