In this research paper, I chose the Red Panda to be the organism that I did my research on. The red panda is also known as “Firefox”, “Lesser Panda”, the “Red Cat-Bear” and get its name from the Giant Panda. Red panda is known to be the “lesser panda” because of the size compared to the giant panda. Western scientists first named this organism the “first panda” when it was first seen 50 years earlier. Only a few people have ever heard about the red panda, let alone have seen one. Red pandas are becoming
The article compared the behavior of red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) and giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in the wild with regards to foraging, daily and seasonal activity, and land use pattern. The purpose of the study was to improve understanding of the nature of the evolutionary relationship between the two species. A combined method of behavior observation and radio telemetry was used to gather the data. The giant pandas (3 males and 2 females) were radio-collared and studied between 1981 and
mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day. The red panda is the only living species of the genus Ailurus and the family Ailuridae. It has been previously placed in the raccoon and bear families, but results of phylogenetic research indicate strong support for its taxonomic classification in its own family Ailuridae, which along with the weasel family is part of the superfamily Musteloidea. They have long, soft reddish-brown fur on the upper parts, blackish fur on the
With a population of less than 10,000 the red panda is listed vulnerable on the endangered species list. “The red panda has small cat like features but markings like a panda or a raccoon (Bearlife). “The red panda lives in Asia its habitat ranges include central China, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bhutan (Bearlife).”Reasoning for red pandas becoming endangered is habitat destruction. “Once living in many parts of Asia, the red panda is now confined to parceled territories that collectively are a fraction
Panda are also known as giant panda. They are members of bear family. They are native to south Central China. We can distinguish them from bears by the large, typical black patches across their eyes, over the ears and around their round bodies. Their black and white fur is thick and coarse.

Red Pandas are endangered creatures with their habitats slowly disappearing. Red Pandas have similar characteristics to raccoons. Red Pandas don’t eat very much for their size. Physical Description Red Pandas
Figure 1 indicates that the Giant Panda is considered as a Primary Consumer. The arrows are going in a horizontal order with the arrows pointing towards the apex predator which is the Bengal Tiger. This food chain suggests that the Bengal Tiger is one of the dominant predator of the food chain while the Panda only nourishes on Bamboo. Bamboo is shown as a primary producer because it can make its own food using photosynthesis. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 2 shows that the Panda is yet again a Primary
Red Panda Research Paper Red Pandas are those cute, russet colored, furry animals that are on the endangered species list. They are endangered because of deforestation, destruction of their habitat, so they people try to help, by putting them in captivity. They have an amazing personality in zoos, and on camera, but what are they really like when they are in the wild? They can be extremely confusing if you don’t know about them, but there is many facts out there that can help you get to know them
The living organism I will be researching on is the Ailuropoda melanoleuca, the Giant panda. The giant panda, a black-and-white bear, has a body typical of bears. It has black fur on ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, and shoulders. The rest of the animal's coat is white. Their thick, wooly coat helps to keep them warm in their cool mountain homes or forests of its habitat. What do pandas eat? A wild giant panda’s diet consists of other grasses and occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns. Its diet
At the turn of the century, species known as Ailurus fulgens (Lesser Panda, Red Cat-bear, Red Panda) have been claimed to be decreasing, and were placed on the endangered species list. Over the course of three generation’s which accounts for roughly 18 years Red Panda had a high rate of decline as high as 50% in three generations. “Red Panda is listed as Endangered because its population has plausibly declined by 50% over the last three generations (estimated at 18 years) and this decline is projected
