We call them a bear but they are closer to a raccoon,
Their face is as round as a completely full moon.
They spend most of the day sitting and eating,
They’re so shy that if you approach them they’ll be retreating.

Listen Here!

If you picked giant panda you’re right.  A giant panda is among the rarest and shyest animals in the world.  While it resembles a bear, it is actually closer to the raccoon family.  Normally solitary, they spend most of their days eating, mostly bamboo shoots and other leaves.  They have protruding wrist bones that act like thumbs.
