The Giant Panda and the Polar Bear

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 demand for baby pandas is extremely high so that the population to grow, but the time it takes to do so is hurting the population more. With all that said, the population of the panda bear is decreasing faster than it is increasing, which is a major problem that many organizations are working to figure out a

Due to the lack of knowledge about this species, the red panda was first recorded by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (and Natural Resources,) also known as IUCN, as Vulnerable in 1994. Shortly after this revelation there was an increase in interest, by conservationists, to pursue additional information and protection for this species. In 1996, the red panda was assessed and digressed to the Endangered status; the species remained that way for 12 years until another assessment was taken, and showed improvement in 2008, recording the red panda as Vulnerable once again. Unfortunately, due to an increase of human activity on the red panda habitat has spurred another decline in the population for the red panda. Angela Glatston, a red panda expert, assisted in the evaluation of the red panda for the IUCN in 2015; Glatston concluded her study and wrote via an email interview. “There is a structured form to complete which asks for information on distribution, numbers, threats, etc. Then I looked at criteria for status. The information on red panda suggested endangered so that was my recommendation. This report and recommendation are reviewed by the IUCN, and in this case they were accepted (2016).” As of April 2015, according to the IUCN, the red panda has returned to its status as

The Giant Panda Bear, or Ailuropoda melanoleuca are mammals with an omnivorous diet. They are considered endangered-only 1,000 are left in the wild. The main cause for this decline is the erosion of habitat by clearing of the forest for crop cultivation. Institutions have been created soley for the purpose of conserving species dying of due to this industry. People around the world are working to study and help protect this majestic species God perfectly

The Grizzly Bear is one of nature’s last keystone species that is contributing to the Western United states and Southwestern Canada. The Grizzly Bear is thought of as a vicious beast who kills people without intent. Grizzly Bears are actually important to the environment and ecosystem that they live in. This Bear is an intelligent animal, which serves a role of preserving a plant’s way of life. It creates soil disturbance which causes more nitrogen to be produced to generate more nutrients for plants.

And different kind of panda but kinda the same.The red panda has a long ,and soft furry bushy tail. And has rings like a raccoon. The red pandas are very similar to the raccoon because of the line they have on their back. The red panda is no where near what the giant panda weighs. The red panda is small and weighs less. They weigh 6 to 12 pounds . And will probably grow 2 feet. And it’s not including their tail.The red panda tends to sleep all day in a tree. They search for food at Dawna and dusk. Red pandas are most likely than giant pandas to ear floss other than bamboo. They usually eat fruits and berries.The similarities are that they have the long line like the raccoon. They also tend to walk like them to. They’re face looks like it

The Red Panda lives in the Himalayas (Southeast Asia Mountains, China), the temperate, forest mountain regions of that part, in the mountains. The Red Panda’s hard jaw and strong teeth, help the animal eat its primary food source, bamboo, much like it’s cousin, the Great Panda. Some Distinctive features of the Red Panda are white colored cheeks and ears, red stripes across their side, and of course the spots above its muzzle. The Red Panda is officially an endangered species across the world. They have fur all across their body, to keep them warm in the winter, and extra protection.

Panda bears are very similar but different to red pandas some similarities they have are they both eat bamboo. Similarities they have are they both can share a habitat and both bear are endangered, sadly both are hunted down and poached for their fur. On the other hand pandas are very different from a red pandas a normal black and white panda can eat 20 to 40 pounds of bamboo a day. Where a red panda can only eat 2 to 4 pounds of bamboo a day. Black and white pandas are more endangered than red pandas.

The Polar Bear are found on the icy coasts that surrounds the North Poles and as far south as Hudson Bay. Around 60%of Polar Bears can be found in Canada with the remainings throughout Greenland, Alaska, Svalbard, and Russia where tend to be close to the ocean across the icy fields. The habitats are affected by human encroachment by hunting , and releasing chemical pollutants into the water.The Polar Bear eats Seals, Walrus, and Seabirds. Polar Bears can live up to 20-30 year. Polar Bears have a lot of fur and their fur is clear, white, or yellow. The Polar Bear is 6.5 ft-8.3ft. they can weigh up to 330lbs -1,322lbs and they can swim up to 25mph.

The polar bear, the largest land carnivore in North America, one of the largest animals in the world and a favorite at zoos worldwide, has, over the years, adapted to its harsh Arctic environment. The appropriately named ‘ursus maritimum’ or sea bear usually lives between 15 and 18 years in the wild and spends most of its life on ice. It is the most recent of the eight bear species. The first polar bear was a brown bear subspecies, with brown bear dimensions and brown bear teeth. The polar bear evolution was rapid due to the small population and extreme pressure to survive. Even today, the polar bear continues to evolve to better adapt to the harsh realities of Arctic life.

Polar Bears in 2008 was listed by the US government on the list of endangered species. Thus, they became the first species recognized as endangered due to global warming.

Regardless of the studies continuously being done on the polar bear and brown grizzly bear lineage, the polar bear is listed as “vulnerable” which is one level below “endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature List. This is due to the warming climate, loss of sea ice, threats of hunting, shipping, and pollution (Hailer, Verena, and Bjorn, 2012).

These species are in serious danger of becoming extinct due to global warming. Biologist do not know the exact number of polar bears worldwide as these species live in remote areas making it difficult to monitor them. Based on available information, biologist were able to report that there were about 22 600 to 32 000 polar bears alive in the world. This is the latest census that was taken in 2012.

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.

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.
