Eats
They are herbivores and eat mostly bamboo leaves, but will snack on other fruits if given the option.
Lives
They reside in Nepal, Myanmar, and central China in high-altitude forests and shrublands. They live in forested mountain slopes with a bamboo understory, usually with an altitude between 4,500-15,000 ft.
Behavior
They are solitary
Description
They have soft, dense fur covering their body to keep them warm in their high altitude environment, including a bushy tail that helps with balance and acts as a blanket. They are approximately the size of a housecat and resemble a raccoon more than a giant panda.
Did you Know?
Red pandas live in the cool, high-altitude forests of Nepal, Myanmar and central China.
How can I Help?
Their population has declined more than 50% over past 20 years. There are only 2,500 red pandas left in wild. Habitat loss/fragmentation, illegal trade, exploitation of forest resources, disease, and climate change are the main reasons for their populations' intense decline.
