Red Panda Decline

Unfortunately, for the panda bear they are on a endangered list. There are several reasons that it is difficult for the survival of these bears. The females can ovulate during the Spring time, which becomes a very small window for growth. They are literally only able to ovulate 2-3 days a year. That's right. So, this is already a challenge for them. Plus, the female panda can only give birth to 2 and 1 usually dies.

The red pandas are a small mammal that has black on the legs and on the underneath of their bodies, a dark orange/red on the top of the body, then it has stripes on the tail of orange/red and brown. Their face is mostly orange/red with a little bit of white outlining their eyes, nose, cheeks and mouth and on their ears. They weigh roughly around 5-9 kgs on average and are only about 1.9 feet (58 cm) in length. Red pandas have been classified as a relative of the giant pandas and raccoons, as they are currently in their own family called Ailuridae. Ailuridae is a group of mammals that are in the order of Carnivora. Currently, the red panda is the only living species in the family as the other members are all extinct.

IUCN stands for International Union for Conservation of Nature. The main purpose of this organization is to find solutions related to the health of the Earth. There are fourteen theme-based programs and one of them is about species. “The IUCN Red List is the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animals, fungi and plant species and their links to livelihoods.” IUCN states ("The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species"). Humans must stop hunting threatened species on the IUCN Red List.

and Yunnan Provinces of China. They are also found in suitable habitats in Nepal, India, and Tibet. (“Red Panda”) Over the course of the next century, the countries home to the red panda will experience changes from disasters associated with the increase of Earth’s temperature. Bhutan, home to many of existing

Red pandas can be as tall as 20 to 25 inches, black and white pandas can be as tall as 4 to 6 feet tall. Black pandas are giant compared to a red panda. On average a red panda can weigh 7 to 10 pounds and a black panda can weigh 150 to 300 pounds.

A Ailurus fulgens can be from 24 to 47 inches in size. That’s just from 2-4 feet! A red panda weighs 7 to 14 lbs. Red pandas are omnivores, they only eat other animals and/or plants. The predetors of a Ailurus fulgens snow leopard, marten, and us, humuns. A Ailurus fulgens can live up to 12 years.

Red pandas are endangered due to deforestation. Their natural habitat is being destroyed by people wishing to spread agriculture and people who fell trees for

Red pandas, small mammals related to pandas that live in the himalayas, are the animal I will be telling you all about in this report. The reason I chose the red panda is because they are cute and look very interesting. In this paper, I will be describing the red panda's habitat, there interesting body and their diet.

If the trend continues Red Pandas will be extinct by 2050 in China. Since Red Pandas do not live long, around 10 years, it is hard to establish a definite population. Before the rapid influx of humans into the Red Pandas natural habitat, these shy and delicate animals had a stable population. Through human interactions much changed. Habitats started being destroyed and humans started killing and capturing Red Pandas. Fortunately, organizations started to take notice and the population of Red Pandas has been stabilized for the moment. National parks were created to stop the sharp decline. As well, there has been great success at reproduction in

Many people believe the statement that pandas are an endangered species. The article “ The Giant Panda Is No Longer Endangered. Its, Vulnerable.” written by Liam Stack , states the truth. On September 4th, 2016 the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an international monitoring group discovered the good news. Pandas are no longer considered “endangered”, they are now vulnerable. The chinese government increased the population of Giant Pandas by using forest protection, and reforestation.

Because of their low-energy diet they avoid stressful situations, preferring shallow slopes and solitary living. They use scent markers to avoid one another. Giant pandas don’t roar like other bears, but baaaa like goats, or or honk, growl and bark to talk. Cubs whine and croak for attention.

The Giant Panda is a member of the bear family. It also is closely related to raccoons, weasels, and skunks. Nevertheless, it primarily resembles a bear, considering it has a similar size and shape. Its fur is thick, mainly white, with black spots on its shoulders, limbs, ears, and patches surrounding its eyes. It has a chubby figure, with short legs and a stubby tail. It grows to be from 5 to 6 feet long, adults weighing anywhere from around 200 to 300 pounds. Its lifespan is commonly 20 to 25 years, the longest recorded being 30.

Giant pandas are among the rarest mammals in the world. There are probably less than 1,000 left in the wild. Although adult giant pandas have few natural enemies, the young are sometimes preyed upon by leopards. Habitat encroachment and destruction are the greatest threats to the continued existence of the giant panda. This is mainly because of the demand for land and natural resources by China's 1 billion inhabitants. To offset this situation, the Chinese government has set aside 11 nature preserves where bamboo flourishes and giant pandas are known to live.

Last month, I had the chance to visit the San Diego Zoo, and saw a lot of animals including the giant pandas. While most of the tourists would only stand for a few moments in front of the other animal, many of them linger before the two giant pandas, Baiyun and Xiaoliwu. In fact, it was the only exhibit that we had to wait in a line to see, despite the zoo not being all that busy. It’s evident that pandas are extremely popular animals, not only because of its unique fur coat color, but also because how rare the animal is; they are almost verging on the edge of extinction. According to John Vidal in his article, the two pandas at Edinburgh has increase the zoo numbers “by four million people in two years” (Vidal) This, however, raises many different questions. Why are the giant pandas becoming endangered? Is there anything that we humans are doing to help? More importantly, should we help the giant pandas if they have truly become a species that cannot survive on their own in the wild? I believe that the giant pandas have certain traits that are accelerating their extinction, but we have the responsibility to give the pandas our help to avoid that disaster, because we are a community and everything in the communities has its own functions; we cannot decide for the land or the animals whether or not to end the existence of one species.

The Red Panda has some stunning looks. Parts of its body are quite large and long, and some are short and skinny. It has a very large head, along with a tiny snout. They are red with hints of brown, there face is almost completely white with streaks of brown and red. They only grow to weigh 10-20 pounds. Also a amazing fact is there tail can grow up go 12-20 inches! There tiny size and shape makes it easier not to be hunted.
