The Red Panda

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.

Liam Stack recently wrote an article, “ The Panda Is No Longer Endangered. It’s ‘vulnerable’.” He happily informed the readers that the national Chinese symbol, the panda, is no longer in danger. Instead of being on our endangered species list, along with the eastern gorilla, they are now considered, ‘vulnerable’. The I.U.C.N ( The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is responsible for this accomplishment for using forest protection and reforestation. These pandas may be safe for now, but they are worried about the future, since they now struggle with limited resources. They have found a numerous amount of pandas and cubs, but climate change is destroying more than 35 percent of their food. Stabilizing their

The Giant Panda is one of the most misunderstood animals on the planet. For many years, it was believed to be a type of racoon, like the similarly named red panda. However, genetics testing and observation have revealed that the panda is in fact, a bear. It has several adaptations that make it unusual. First is the fact that it has six digits on the front paws, giving it an opposable thumb ideal for holding onto the stalks of bamboo which it consumes in great amounts. The genitalia of the male are rear-pointing and small which is also decidedly bearish, and much more like those of the red panda. It has only been since 1995 that the Panda has been officially considered a bear.

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.

The red panda is a good climber and spends most time in trees during day, but is active at dusk, dawn, night time, and when foraging for food

Pandas have been on Earth for about two to three million years. They are descendants from their ancestral carnivores; bears, racoons, dogs, and cats. The primal panda, Ailurarctos lufengensis was around about 8 million years ago until went extinct in the late Miocene era. These mammals have not changed since evolution. The earliest pandas were small until 3 million years ago, when larger pandas developed. These mammals have not changed since evolution. The biggest changes they have undertaken have been their habitat and the size of their body. Fossils of the modern Giant Pandas date back to the middle of the Pleistocene era, 600,000 years ago. Pandas adapted to the widespread variety of plant resources in southern Asia. Thus, they lost their carnivorous and omnivorous traits from their ancestors. and the growth of agriculture. During the mid and late Pleistocene era, there were environmental changes. The Qingling Mountains, were pandas inhabited, became frozen, destroying their habitat. Over the past thousand of years, human civilization has caused pandas to live in high mountains. To this day, their unique diet, isolated habitat, and reproductive constraints have closely classified them as extinct. The evolution pandas, human civilization, and environmental changes have caused their population to drop. Until recently, it has been announced Giant Pandas are no longer endangered,

Pandas are very important to China. It is their national animal and they depend on it for things like diplomacy and tourism. A lot of people around the world travel to china to visit their pandas which help the local business and their economy. Panda diplomacy is when china gives pandas to other nations as gifts to help relations

Instead of the penguin I have decided to do my pow on red pandas. Why? Because red pandas are very cute, interesting creatures, that also happen to be my spirit animal. The red panda has a (In my opinion.)a bad name. It is not really a panda, but closer related to the skunk and racoon family called Ailuridae. Red pandas are also known to be highly cute, and this of course brings them lots of attention at zoos.And that's why they're real money makers. But sadly not everyone can have one because they're endangered and there's only about 10,000 of them left.

Guests to China may detect an animal looking like a bear. This creature is the panda, a Chinese member of the Ursidae family. The Chinese panda is an imperiled species, undermined by proceeded with natural surroundings misfortune and living space discontinuity. The Chinese Panda has a body shape like that of bears. It has dark hide on its legs, arms, shoulders, ears, eye fixes, and gag. Whatever is left of this present creature's jacket is white. More often than not, a panda has a round head, stocky body, and a little tail. The shoulder stature is 63-71 cm. Grownups measure around 5 to 6 ft long, including a tail of around 10-15 cm, which is the second longest in the Ursidae family. Grownups weigh more or less 250 pounds. Panda cubs are greatly small, measuring just around 5 ounces at birth.

Ever since the trees got chop down the pandas population is going down the hole state has over billion people. Everything when roads are made,homes,cities,and even farms. They even,plant trees, and other resources. The giant panda shrank as trees has grow. The panda habit was decreased by a haft between 1972 and 1985.

One of the endangered species in the world, Giant pandas, are mostly located in China, but they can be found in many other zoos in the world. For example, there is a giant panda named Mei Xiang at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C, who actually just gave birth to her baby cub in 2013. China first started giving pandas to other countries, with no strings attached until the 1950’s and decided to make a profit out of lending pandas to other countries. The Chinese government took advantage of the popularity of the pandas and created relationships with other countries in the world. China and the US naturally formed a relationship after China offered the giant pandas to show their gratitude to President Nixon after visiting their country. But China

They are found inhabiting the temperate mountain forests on the slopes. The majority of their food is bamboo shorts but they also eat acorns, berries and grasses, along with grubs, chicks and birds’ eggs. The most distinctive features for the red panda is rusty colored thick fur and striped face. They are Endangered because there are less than 3,000 left in the world and they are dying because of their habitat loss. The skin type of the red panda is fur all over their body.

Red Pandas are an endangered animal. They are native to the Himalayas and China. They are a very interesting animal. It has physical features that many animals don’t. They have a interesting Biology and Behavior. They have a small diet.

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.
