The Emperors' Bear Cat

The modern Giant Panda, or Bear Cat, is some two to three million years old. 

Imperial palaces maintained pandas to guard against natural disasters and malevolent spirits. 

Forget cuddly creatures on treacly greetings cards frolicking among bamboo. These great beasts were symbols of might and bravery.
