Wildlife 49 images Created 21 Feb 2017

Wild Wonders of China showcases China's amazing and little-known wildlife. Many tend to know very little about wildlife in China, apart from the Giant Panda. This is where we intend to make a difference. China is the 3rd country in the world when it comes to the number of wild mammal species. China also has 1300 species of bird, of which over 100 are endemic, which means they exist only here.
