RED PANDA.
The Red Panda is an unnusual animal.
DESCRIPTION:
Red pandas, which resemble raccoons, are about 42 cm long, including a long, bushy tail. They weigh between seven and 14 kg. Their soft, dense fur covers their whole body even the soles of their feet. Red pandas use their long and bushy tails to balance when they're in trees. They also cover themselves with their tails in winter.
HABITAT:
Red pandas live in the cool temperate forests of southwestern China, the Himalayas, and Nepal. Forests of ancient trees, are very important to the survival of red pandas. They provide caves and hiding places for the small panda cubs and also for adult pandas. White markings on the red pandas’ faces and black fur on their shoulders and legs camouflage them. This helps them hide from predators in the dark forest.
DIET:
Bamboo is the main diet of the red panda and is abundant in their natural habitat. In addition they eat a big variety of other foods such as fruits, nuts, flowers, and seeds.
