The Giant Panda population is being wiped out because of poachers, starvation, and loss of habitat. It is of great importance to save the panda because in the years to come, it will greatly effect the ecosystem. Not only will this happen, but the image of the panda's face will be lost to future generations. To keep this from happening, we should act now.

The classification of the panda has long been a matter of controversy among zoologists. Originally classified with the bears, it was later grouped with raccoons. The weight of evidence that has accumulated over the years, however, now supports the view that it is related to bears. Its closest relative is the spectacled bear of South America. The giant panda is a large, stocky animal measuring up to 1.5 m in length and weighing up to 150 kg. Its diet consists chiefly of vegetable matter, but it also eats small animals. Shy and solitary by nature when in the wild, they become friendly and playful in captivity. Only a handful exi Read More Go to Site Giant Pandas Votes:0 ? ? "Perhaps the panda in a small way can help change our concepts. Its seeming simplicity permits us to discern the qualities that make it so alluring. Having transcended its mountain home to become a citizen of the world, the panda is a symbolic creature that represents our efforts to protect the environment. Though dumpy and bearlike, it has been patterned with such creative flourish, such artistic perfection, that it almost seems to have evolved for this higher purpose. A round, rather flat face, large black eye patches, and a cuddly and clumsy appearance give the panda an innocent, childlike quality that evokes universal empathy, a desire to hug and protect. And it is rare. Survivors are somehow more poignant than causalities.

The red panda is a member of the order carnivora. There is some argument that suggests the red panda is more closely related to the raccoon or the bear. The red panda is called by many names. Some of them are lesser panda, hun-ho, wah, and red cat bear. Every spring, one or two young are born. They each weigh about four ounces. The young stay with their mother for about one year. The size of the red panda is about 20-24 inches long, not counting its 11-19 inch sharp tail. The red panda's weight is about 7-10 pounds. It is a rusty red to dark chestnut in color and has black legs.

Fossils of the oldest ancestral panda, Ailuropoda lufengensesis , are about eight million years old. These fossils were found in southern China. The earliest pandas were small, forest-dwelling creatures for millions of years until about the time of the late Pliocene three million years ago, when larger pandas developed. Pandas about half the size of modern giant pandas, Ailuropoda microta , were widespread throughout southern China about 600,000 years ago and were replaced by a larger species, Ailuropoda melanoleuca baconi , that was even larger than the modern giant panda.
