A Closer Look
The Red Panda’s look is very unique. For example they white colored ears, cheeks, muzzle and, cat-like face. In addition they have reddish brown stripes that down to either side of their white muzzle and strong jaw. Also their size is just like a large house cats size and semi-retractable claws to aid climbing and stability among the branches. Another fact is they have a bushy tail with light or dark rings. That is why I think that Red Pandas are unique.
Where You Can Find Me
The Red Panda’s habitat is very interesting. For example they live on temperate mountains on the slopes of the Himalayas. In addition to that they live on the Eastern Himalayas. Also the Red Panda’s live on some of the world’s tallest mountains. Another fact is in their past they lived in Bhutan, Nepal, India, Myanmar, and China. That is why I think the Red Panda’s habitat is interesting.
Why Red Pandas Are Endangered
There are many reasons that the Red Panda is considered endangered. The Red Panda is becoming endangered in the Himalayas and in China because people are cutting down its home/food in the himalayas. They live on and eat bamboo. In China people have been hunting Red Pandas for its fur and tail therefore it is endangered because the Red Panda means good luck. That is why the Red Panda is considered endangered.
Do It Fur The Red Panda
The Red Pandas are a vulnerable species, but there are a few solutions to this problem. As a result hunting Red Pandas is illegal/banned. Another solution is anyone found guilty of killing, selling or buying a Red Panda they will have to pay a fine of $1000 and/or end up in jail for 10 years. To solve the problem of their habitat loss, they made yak dung briquettes. They can be used as fuel instead of cutting down the bamboo. Those are a couple of solutions for the Red Panda.
