Giant pandas have a long history. The fossils of the oldest member of the giant panda discovered so far, the Eo panda, were unearthed in Lufeng and Yuanmou, Yunnan, China, with a geological age of about 8 million years ago in the late Miocene. In the long-term and severe competition for survival and natural selection, many animals of their generation have become extinct, but the giant panda is the strong one and has the upper hand, and has become a "living fossil" that has been preserved to this day.
