red pandas: cute comes in small
an article about the endangered red panda
classification and how endangered the red panda is.
The red panda is so unique, it has its own class called the ailuras and is part of the carnivorous group. it is not extinct, but only about 10,000 are left. that may seem like alot, but compared to an animal who isnt endangered, thats not a whole lot.
habitat and challenges in their habitat
The red panda shares the giant panda's rainy, high-altitude forest habitat, but has a wider range. Red pandas live in the mountains of nepal and northern Myanmar (Burma), as well as in central China. These animals spend most of their lives in trees and even sleep aloft. It can be chilly up in the high mountain altitude, so the red panda uses its bushy tail as a blanket to keep warm
red panda reproduction
the red panda has 1-4 cubs at once. their usually born in the spring or summer. birds of prey, such as an owl or hawk may prey on the cubs. The cubs stay in their nest for about 90 days, during which their mother cares for them. (the father has little to no interest in his cubs.)
diet!
The red pandas diet mostly consist of bamboo! When the weather is warm enough they may also eat insects or fruit. It may be hard for them to find their food when competing for the same thing with other animals that eat the same thing.
predators.
Animals such as the snow leopard or marten prey on these unique animals. some other birds sometimes prey on them, but not often
