...🐼"Cuteness overload"🐼... a fluffy panda having the best time rolling in the snow... the giant pandas prefer colder temperatures and are usually more active during the winter months... they have thick waterproof fur that insulates them from the cold and wet snow... with great special postmark from the Panda Post (or Panda Kingdom Post Office)... a unique postal service and cultural landmark located within the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan established in 2013... the facility includes over a thousand panda-themed items, including postcards, stamps, stationery, and "Giant Panda Postman" collectibles... a cultural market, a postal exhibition hall, and even a panda-themed restaurant... Thanks a lot Hang Tong!(✿◠‿◠)

Giant pandas are bear species native to central China, famous for their black-and-white fur. These mammals are omnivores. But whilst pandas will occasionally eat small animals and fish, bamboo counts for 99 percent of their diet.They are bamboo experts that eat up to 50 pounds of bamboo daily, spending 12–16 hours eating, and have a special wrist bone acting as a thumb for grabbing food.
Giant pandas grow to between 1.2m and 1.5m, and weigh between 75kg and 135kg. Scientists aren’t sure how long pandas live in the wild, but in captivity they live to be around 30 years old.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (or simply Chengdu Panda Base) is a government-funded non-profit breeding and research institute for giant pandas, red pandas, and other rare animals located in Chengdu Sichuan and was founded in 1987.
