The Giant Panda

Giant pandas don`t build permanent dens but the rather take shelter in trees and caves and A panda's daily diet consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems and shoots of various bamboo species. Bamboo contains very little nutritional value so pandas must eat 12-38 kg every day to meet their energy needs. But they do branch out, with about 1% of their diet comprising other plants and even

According to a reliable website” The giant panda is a well known and well-loved species that is being driven to extinction by habitat loss. It has become one of the most endangered mammals in the world, with only 1,600 of them left” (Exploring nature education). Also According to another credible website about polar bears, “Polar bears might not be endangered but they are one category off of becoming endangered, there are 20,000-25,000 left worldwide” (animalpawnation).As you can see the Giant panda is classified as endangered. There are only about 1,600 left in the world. 1,600 may be a lot but surprisingly not to many scientists and researchers. On the other hand polar bears are classified as threatened one step away from becoming endangered. There are only about 20,000- 25,000 left worldwide.Other than being endangered and threatened they also share many similar characteristics. The giant panda and polar bear are both similar and different in their physical qualities, habitat, and diet.

The Qinling giant pandas are a slowly diminishing species. If left unprotected they will eventually become extinct. Fan, Li, Quan, Wu, Hu, and Yang investigated the effects of road construction on endangered Qinling giant pandas. Road construction can greatly affect the environment. According to the article, the harmful effects of roadway expansion “extend to an area ten times broader than the roadway itself” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145). It can cause harmful chemicals to contaminate water sources and food supplies. Subsequently, road construction isolates species from one another, and this in turn “blocks gene flow…, which steeply [decreases] genetic diversity” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145). On the other hand, road networks can isolate these species from their main water source and/or food supply. The giant panda’s only food source is bamboo. Bamboo is a fickle plant that grows in certain habitats, under pristine conditions. Therefore, becoming isolated from bamboo forestry is detrimental to their survival. Researchers investigated the “impact of road construction on giant panda’s habitat and its carrying capacity in the Qinling Mountains” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145).

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 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.

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 article I chose, Panda’s Habitat ‘Shrinking and Becoming More Fragmented’, was written by Helen Briggs for BBC News. The article talks about how the giant panda’s habitat, the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, is much worse than it was 30 years ago. The article said that even though the giant panda was taken off the endangered list last year the loss of habitat is still a very serious threat to the animal. The article said that the reason for this is because the panda’s are being split up from each other. The development of roads running through their habitat splits them up so that they’re aren’t able to find each other to breed. Other things such as earthquakes, agriculture, tourism, and logging have majorly affected the habitat as

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

Their are plenty pandas in the world, such as the Giant panda. Which is closely related to the Red panda. This furry lovable mammal is located in central China, Nepal, and India. They live in forest located in the areas listed. They live at the temperature of 10-25 degrees (moderate). They have a length of 20- 23 inches and can weigh up to 7-11 lbs. But, the tail itself measures 12-20 inches long. The red panda is also known as the “ firefox” and “lesser panda” because of the size as well as color. The scientific name for a red panda is Ailurus fulgens. The red panda has a scienficent brick red colored fur with chocolate brown markings. With short pointed ears.

The Giant Panda is a creature of mystery. Adults and children alike appreciate it for its cute, fuzzy, lovable qualities, but it is an animal that is in desperate need of immediate attention. Scientists know the basics: how and what they eat, where and how they live, and how they reproduce. The fact remains, however, that this universally loved national symbol of China is facing the threat of extinction. What accounts for this fact and what can be or is being done to protect the panda from such a fate? This paper will discuss the characteristics and lifestyle of the panda as well as issues and questions that arise as a result of the threat of their extinction.

One of the most treasure animals in China are Pandas. However, they are endangered animals, only 1,600 of them living across the wild. Pandas are found in mountainous areas in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, in Central China. There is only one species which is the Giant Panda Bear. They are the rarest and don’t hibernate. Pandas can grow to 250 pounds, the weight of a normal human, and are 5.25 to 6 feet long. Pandas live to 14-20 years in the wild, 35 years captive.

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

Pandas are almost endangered animals from 1990. Panda gets threats by habitat loss and poaching. Panda is actually a symbol of peace in the country of China. There are only 1000 pandas left in China caused to an extinction. Pandas have the same habitat to the red panda. A female panda ovulate yearly. Pandas that are born can have diseases only about half of the percentage get diseases while being borne by their mother. Panda’s fur is worth up to $60,000 and can be illegally traded at a trade market. These animals has also lived on Earth three million years ago. Pandas also have one of the best sense of smell and they also have 42 teeth like I said before the food that is eaten is not digested. Since there was interesting facts. Let's go into my information. (Lehnardt,

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.
