This is Tien Tien. He is a giant panda. Most giant pandas have black and white fur like Tien Tien.

这是甜甜。 他是一只大熊猫。 大多数大熊猫都和甜甜一样，长着黑白相间的皮毛。

Tien Tien has black fur around his eyes. Raccoons have black fur around their eyes, too. But Tien Tien is not a raccoon. He is a bear. All giant pandas are bears.

甜甜的眼睛周围长着黑色的毛发。 浣熊的眼睛周围也有黑毛哦。 但甜甜可不是浣熊。 他是熊科动物。 所有的大熊猫都属于熊科。

Tian Tian was born in China. He now lives at a zoo in the United States. He came to the United States when he was three years old. In China, he lived at a special place for pandas.

甜甜出生在中国。 他现在住在美国的一家动物园里。 他三岁的时候就来到了美国。 在中国的时候，他住在一个专门照顾大熊猫的地方。

China is the only place where wild giant pandas live. They live in mountain forests. There are only about 1 ,600 wild giant pandas in China.

中国是野生大熊猫唯一的栖息地。 它们住在山林里。 现在中国的野生大熊猫仅存约1600只。

All giant pandas eat a plant called bamboo. Bamboo grows in the mountain forests in China. More people are cutting down the forests. Without bamboo, giant pandas cannot survive.

所有大熊猫都吃一种叫竹子的植物。 竹子生长在中国的山林里。 现在越来越多的人在砍伐森林。 没有竹子，大熊猫就活不下去。
