1 : Introduction to the question “Which of these bear species is native to China?
…Giant pandas are native to China — specifically central China, in the Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. They previously lived in lowland areas, but human encroachment has forced them up into the country’s mountainous regions, where they’re typically found at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet, in forests with an abundance of bamboo. Grizzly bears, meanwhile, are native to mainland North America, Kodiak bears are found on the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska, and polar bears inhabit the Arctic.
