The first-class protected animals in China include giant panda, crested ibis (huán), Asian elephant, golden monkey, snow leopard, wild horse, bear raccoon and gibbon. The giant panda is a carnivorous giant panda in Xiong Ke, known as "living fossil" and "national treasure of China". Endemic to China, the main habitats are Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu mountainous areas. Crested ibis is a bird of crested ibis.

Giant Panda: The only mammal in the genus Giant Panda of Carnivora in Xiong Ke. There are only two subspecies. Males are slightly older than females. It is a bear-like figure, plump and rich, with a short round head and tail, with a head length of 1.2- 1.8m and a tail length of 10- 12cm. The weight is 80- 120kg, and the maximum weight can reach 180kg. The body color is black and white, the cheeks are round, there are big dark circles, the iconic walking posture with eight characters inside, and claws as sharp as scalpels. The skin of the giant panda is thick, and the thickest part can reach10 mm. The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forests and trees covered with snow, and it is not easy to be found by natural enemies.

Golden monkey, with soft fur and upturned nose, has five species: Myanmar golden monkey (Nujiang golden monkey), Sichuan golden monkey, Yunnan golden monkey, Guizhou golden monkey and Vietnam golden monkey, among which, except Myanmar golden monkey and Vietnam golden monkey, they are all rare animals unique to China.

Golden monkeys live in high mountains and dense forests, feed on berries, bamboo shoots and moss, and also like to eat meat such as bird eggs. Their habitat is very high above sea level, and their long hair can resist the cold. These five species are rare and are listed as endangered species in the red species list.

Snow leopard is an important big cat carnivore and flagship species. Because it often moves near the snow line and between snows, it is named "Snow Leopard". Snow leopard has highly developed skills such as distributing blood and regulating breathing. Very sensitive to oxidation changes. The diameter of red blood cells is very small-5.5 microns (4.73 ~ 6. 15 microns), and hemoglobin is highly concentrated (16.4g%). The index of hematocrit (that is, the proportion of red blood cells is 47%) is consistent with a large number of red blood cells in the blood (14.1~168,000 /mm2). Snow leopards are native to the mountainous areas of Central Asia, and the high-altitude mountainous areas such as Tianshan Mountain in China are the main distribution areas of snow leopards. Its fur is gray, with black spots and black rings, and its tail is long and thick, so it is called "the snow king of the hill".
