Pandas galore in exhibition at Gala Mall
A boy tries to shake hands with a "giant panda".
A giant panda exhibition has opened at the Gala Mall in the Lujiazui area.
The exhibition, co-hosted with the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, showcases giant panda's evolution, behaviors, habitats, and protection through texts and paintings, mechanical and multimedia interactions, and cartoons and games.
Visitors can piece together a jigsaw puzzle to get to know the difference of the giant panda, red panda, and bear; ride on a seesaw to get to know how much bamboo a giant panda can eat in a day; or walk on a mini maze to get to know the importance of protecting giant pandas.
There was once a time when giant pandas could be found as far away as in Vietnam and Myanmar. Their habitats have since shrunk to an area bounded by Shaanxi's Ningshan County in the east, Sichuan's Jiulong County in the west, Shaanxi's Zhouzhi County in the north, and Sichuan's Leibo County in the south
Besides natural predators like jackals and leopards, human activities also pose risks to the existence of giant pandas.
The exhibition will last through October 15.
