Red pandas and giant pandas share a similar name—and a love for bamboo—but they aren't closely related. Scientists think that red pandas are more closely related to weasels, raccoons and skunks. And while giant pandas spend most of their time plodding around on the ground looking for food, red pandas spend about 90 per cent of their time in the trees in the misty mountains of Nepal, Myanmar and central China, where they live.
Spending time in trees is how these animals avoid predators, such as snow leopards. Their reddish coats and white face markings provide camouflage in the red-brown moss and white lichen of trees where they live. About the only time red pandas go to the ground is to, um, go. And they scamper down tree trunks headfirst. How? They rotate their ankles 180 degrees—that's like being able to turn your foot backwards. The move gives their curved claws a better angle to hang on to the bark. Red pandas lick themselves clean, just like house cats do. Newborns hardly have any fur on the bottoms of their feet. The fur grows as they get older. Red pandas wrap their tails around themselves to keep warm in their chilly habitat. They eat about 20,000 bamboo leaves every day.
Red pandas are endangered. Their forest homes are being cut down, and poachers hunt them for their fur. And their adorableness might put them in more danger since they're ideal targets for illegal pet trade.
Luckily, people are trying to help. For instance, the Red Panda Network hires local people to be forest guardians. These panda pals keep watch over the red pandas in Nepal, replant bamboo and help paying tourists observe them without disturbing the creatures. Other organisations are using high-tech methods to track poachers. By taking a DNA sample from a red panda rescued from the black market, conservationists can learn where the animals are being taken from.
