Nature: Pandas

Two stories from the award-winning Nature series, starring one of the world’s most beloved animals.

Pandas of the Sleeping Dragon takes you into the bamboo forest of China’s remote Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon for an amazing look at giant pandas living in the wild. This misty, exotic land is one of the last surviving natural habitats of the panda. Nature’s George Page shows the giant panda in search of food and in search of a mate. An intimate, endearing look at one of the rarest sights in nature. The Panda Baby tells the dramatic behind the scenes story of the San Diego Zoo’s tireless struggle to successfully breed the endangered panda in captivity. Facing challenges ranging from a suspicious Chinese government to a very un-romantic male panda, this becomes a heartwarming tale of building bridges between cultures and species. The story ends happily with the birth of Hua Mei, but raises serious questions about how best to ensure the long term survival of the giant panda
