Red Panda

Ailuropoda melanoleuca and Ailurus fulgens, or commonly referred to as the Giant Panda and Red Panda, are the two types of panda species that inhabit this earth. Both of these are mammals are genetically unrelated. The Giant Panda is part of the Ursidae, bear, family. Whereas the Red Panda is a member of its own family, Ailuridae. Although they may not be genetically related, they hold many a few of the same traits. This includes; habitat, eating habits, and conservation status. Although, they still

I’m researching the Red Panda because it is my favorite animal. When people say Red Panda they may think that it’s a real panda. The Red Panda is actually not a Panda. The Red Panda is because of where it lives, how it survives, and how it has been impacted by humans. Red Pandas can be identified by its red coat. Its coat acts as camouflage at the top of trees where the branches are covered in red or brown moss and white lichens. Red Pandas faces are mostly white and reddish brown colored “tear marks”

Even though the red panda shares the same name with the giant panda, they are not closely related. The red panda is much smaller than the giant panda and the red panda has no close living relatives.

I think the red panda should be kept in the zoo because it is categorised as a vulnerable species. The population of the red panda is fewer than 10,000, some say as few as a couple of thousand, remain in the wild. Almost 50% of the red panda live in the Eastern Himalayas in China. The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared. Also, the red panda are often caught in traps and die even though

For the red pandas size they have a long gestation period which lasts approximately 135 days, on average they have two offspring at a time but this can range between one and four a litter. Red pandas grow slowly so they do not become sexually mature until they are 18 months old, but 80% of red panda cubs do not live to the age of maturity. Once the red panda reaches sexual maturity it can continue to reproduce up until death, mating usually occurs during the winter season from January to mid-March

Giant pandas and red pandas are loveable, furry friends that both love to sleep and relax. Although they have similar names, diets, and habits, they are quite unique animals and have very different lifestyles. Giant pandas and red pandas may enjoy the same foods and activities, but have different bodies and live very different lives. Both red pandas and giant pandas have ideal bodies for climbing bamboo stalks and gathering food. Both pandas have a layer of thick furry skin which protects them

The red panda may have “red” in the name but the Red Panda is actually an orange-ish red-ish animal, it is related to bears and raccoons giving it the appearance of a bear and raccoon together. The Red Panda blends in with the trees where it lives because of its colors, its scientific name Ailurus Fulgens it means “fire-colored cat.” The Red Panda lives in the trees in China, its long

Endangered species are species that are in danger of extinction. The Red Panda is currently listed as endangered. Three thousand to seven thousand red pandas live in China and five thousand to six thousand inhabit India. There are only ten thousand individuals left in the world and the population decreased about forty percent in the past fifty years. The animal

The Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) is a small carnivorous mammal. Adults bodies are usually 1 ½ to 2 feet with the length of their tail being anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ feet (Red Panda Ailuris fulgens, n.d.).
