INTRODUCTION:

The red panda is a vegetarian carnivorous

animal living in
Eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It
is listed an endangered animal because its wild
population is estimated fewer than 10,000 and
continues to decline due to habitat
loss , fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding .
Despite its name, it is not closely related to
the giant panda. The red panda has reddish-
brown fur, a long, shaggy tail. It is roughly the
size of a domestic cat, though with a longer
body.
FUN AND INTERESTING RED PANDA FACTS:
 They were given the name ‘panda’ first; roughly fifty years
before the black and white variety.
 They have a false thumb (an extended wrist bone) which has
developed over time to help them climb trees and eat
bamboo.
 They’re vegetarian carnivores because they eat not more than
bamboo and a few insects so they are called vegetarian
carnivores.
 Truly an animal of the cyber generation they have a web
browser named after them and they tweet! The browser is
Firefox (that’s a red panda in the logo) and they actually
‘tweet’ from their mouths. The sound they make is called
‘twittering’…but no 280 character limit here!
