The Giant Panda lives in the misty mountains of southwest China, and
nowhere else in the world. The Giant Panda weighs on average 135 kg

Golden monkey has a nice reddish/golden hair and also has a

Today China has over 400,000 factories. with all those
factories China has made over 14,485,000 cars in 2011. Thats

farms which happens to be the 8th largest in the world.
