The Chinese word 大熊猫 (dà xióng māo) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 大 (dà), meaning "big" or "great", and 熊猫 (xióng māo), meaning "bear cat". The term "bear cat" is a literal translation of the Chinese name, which is derived from the animal's physical characteristics. Pandas have a distinctive black and white coat, and they are known for their large size and gentle nature. The name 大熊猫 (dà xióng māo) is therefore an apt description of this unique and beloved animal.
