Giant Panda
ca. May 2003, San Diego, California, USA --- A critically endangered giant panda named Hua Mei in the San Diego Zoo. This panda was the first giant panda born in captivity in the U.S. to survive. She was subsequently sent to China to participate in the captive breeding program there. Pandas only live in isolated populations in the mountains of China and are endangered due to habitat destruction. --- Image by © Jenny E. Ross/Corbis
