Samenvatting:

Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda provides a broad-based overview of the biology of the red panda, Ailurus fulgens. A carnivore that feeds almost entirely on vegetable material and is colored chestnut red, chocolate brown and cream rather than the expected black and white. This book gathers all the information that is available on the red panda both from the field and captivity as well as from cultural aspects, and attempts to answer that most fundamental of questions, "What is a red panda?" Scientists have long focused on the red panda's controversial taxonomy. Is it in fact an Old World procyonid, a very strange bear or simply a panda? All of these hypotheses are addressed in an attempt to classify a unique species and provide an in-depth look at the scientific and conservation-based issues urgently facing the red panda today. Red Panda not only presents an overview of the current state of our knowledge about this intriguing species but it is also intended to bring the red panda out of obscurity and into the spotlight of public attention. Wide-ranging account of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) covers all the information that is available on this species both in and ex situ. Discusses the status of the species in the wild, examines how human activities impact on their habitat, and develops projections to translate this in terms of overall panda numbers. Reports on status in the wild, looks at conservation issues and considers the future of this unique species. Includes contributions from long-standing red panda experts as well as those specializing in fields involving cutting-edge red panda research.

Red panda : biology and conservation of the first panda (2024)

FAQs

How are red pandas the first panda? ›

Giant pandas were described much later and earned their "panda" name because of the similarities the two species shared, like eating bamboo. So, red pandas could be considered the original (or only) true pandas — even if giant pandas have grown more famous over the years.

What is the conservation status of the red panda? ›

Red pandas are endangered and are legally protected in India, Bhutan, China, Nepal and Myanmar.

What is the biology of the red panda? ›

red panda, (Ailurus fulgens), reddish brown, long-tailed, raccoonlike mammal, about the size of a large domestic cat, that is found in the mountain forests of the Himalayas and adjacent areas of eastern Asia and subsists mainly on bamboo and other vegetation, fruits, and insects.

How many red pandas are left in 2024? ›

Endangered. It is estimated that there are less than 10,000 and as few as 2,500 red pandas remaining in the wild.

Are red pandas the first panda to exist? ›

Giant pandas are classified under a separate, distant taxonomic family of bears called Ursidae. However, the plot thickens as the red panda was first discovered in 1825, while the giant panda was discovered much later in 1869, acquiring the name 'panda' as both species share similar feeding habits in the wild.

Why will red pandas go extinct? ›

Almost 50% of the red panda's habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared.

Is a red panda a raccoon? ›

Neither! Red pandas are actually pretty interesting, because they occupy their own odd little branch of the Carnivora family tree. They are the sole (living) members of the family Ailuridae; their nearest relatives are indeed raccoons, but even that is a rather distant relationship.

Can red pandas be pets? ›

IT IS ILLEGAL!

So, next time you see a 'cute' video of a red panda, or any other endangered species, being kept as a pet please don't share it. It may be innocent, however the more shares and views these videos get, the more demand there is for people to take them from the wild.

Is a red panda a fox? ›

Sometimes people call red pandas “lesser pandas” or “firefoxes”. But red pandas are actually not closely related to giant pandas, foxes, or even raccoons. Instead, the red panda, with its distinctive round face, red and black fur, and bushy ringed tail, is in a family of its own, Ailuridae.

Do red pandas eat meat? ›

Red pandas belong to the order Carnivora, but this has more to do with their biological classification than their actual diet. In reality they rarely eat meat, instead using their powerful molars to grind through up to four pounds of bamboo a day. They also sometimes eat fruit, acorns, roots, eggs, rodents, and birds.

Can red pandas swim? ›

Although red pandas are excellent swimmers, it is not something they do very often. In my time working with red pandas, I've seen a lot of cute and interesting behaviors. One of my favorite memories is from 2016, when Asa first arrived and made a splash during her debut — literally.

What eats red pandas? ›

The primary predator of the red panda is thought to be the snow leopard and occasionally martens. Cubs may be hunted by birds of prey and other small carnivores. The red panda is under threat because of habitat loss and the fragmentation of populations, poaching, the pet trade, and forest fires which destroy bamboo.

Who was the first panda? ›

In 1936, Ruth Harkness became the first Westerner to bring back a live giant panda, a cub named Su Lin who went to live at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.

Which panda was discovered first? ›

The red panda is the only panda. The giant panda was discovered later and only called a panda because of the anatomical features both species share.

Why did red pandas evolve? ›

It is a species with unique adaptations making it well suited for its arboreal lifestyle and specialized diet, traced from those ancestors dating back millions of years. The red panda has additional adaptations that have evolved to help it better survive in its high altitude home range.

Where did pandas first come from? ›

The giant panda itself appeared suddenly during the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene, perhaps no more than two to three million years ago. Panda fossils have been found in Burma, Vietnam, and particularly in early in eastern China, as far north as Beijing.
