Bamboo-loving bear (5)

I believe the answer is:

panda

(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "Chinese bear-like mammal" , "Endangered Chinese mammal" , "Black and white beast" , "Police car" , "Large black-and-white herbivorous mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
