A giant panda licks its lips while waiting patiently for delivery of its favorite food, bamboo, inside the panda bear exhibit at a zoo in the port city of Dalian in the People's Republic of China (PRC). These rare and endangered mammals live primarily in China in wilderness sanctuaries, breeding centers and zoos. For yearly fees, the Chinese also loan their giant pandas to other zoos around the world.
