This page is about panda history and more
History: Pandas have been around for along time. Scientists have found fossils or preserved remains or bones, that they believed to have belonged to the pandas earliest ancestor. The ancient relative was about half the size of the pandas today In despite of it’s long history, there is little known about the panda, even in it’s native China, until modern times. The first person from the western world to see a panda was the French naturalist P`ere David, in 1869. But only saw the skin of one that had been killed by a hunter. In 1936, a panda was sent to the United states and put on sow in Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo.
Homes of the panda
Homes of the panda
Pandas live in cool misty forests, where the trees are a mixture of conifers and the type of trees known as “Broadleaves.” Maples and Birches among others are Broadleaf trees. But most importantly for the pandas there is Bamboo trees, which is the pandas main source of food. Pandas usually live in the mountains at the heights of 4,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level.
The second panda
There is just one other panda in the world, the Red Panda. The red Panda is much smaller than the giant panda. It looks very similar to a raccoon. For many years, scientists had the same problem with the Red Panda as they did with the Giant Panda. No one could agree if it was in the bear family or the raccoon family. In the end, an entirely new family was created for the Red Panda alone. The red panda is about 20 to 25 inches long. It’s thick, soft coat is a bright chestnut color. The panda has white face patches and a dark “mask” around it’s eye’s. It’s furry tail, which measures twelve to 20 inches in length, is marked with light and dark rings. Red pandas are much more widespread than giant pandas. They are found throughout the Himalayan forests of Myanmar (formerly called Burma) and china. Like the giant panda, Red pandas eat mostly bamboo.
Panda ranges and at home
A panda in the wild has a range no more than about 12 square miles for females. Pandas’ ranges sometimes overlap, though the individual animals do not often meet up. If they do not meet, pandas aren't normally aggressive toward one another, except during the mating season, when the males fight over the females. Within it’s small range, the panda spends most of it’s time on the ground, moving slowly around. A panda is great at climbing trees too. Their strong legs make this easy.
Closing
In conclusion about the History, Where they live, the red panda, and panda ranges/ at home. I hope you have learned much from this report. If you haven’t I have. I think pandas are a very fascinating animal. You could do more research at your local library.
