Hi there. I'm Ailuropoda melanoleuca, or in Chinese: 大熊猫 - but you can simply call me Panda. I can be easily recognised by my large, distinctive black patches around my eyes, over my ears, and across my round body (so cute!).

Though I belong to the order Carnivora, my diet is over 99% bamboo (just love it). My wild cousins will occasionally eat wild tubers, or even meat... but I live on coffee, bamboo and the Internet.

At Arctik, I make sure the team stay fit and focus on their important tasks and that they always remember they are working to make our little planet fun, creative, and green!
