Description of the Red Panda
Red pandas have red coats and reddishbrown tear marks from the eyes to the
corner of the mouth.They are 50 ~ 60cm in
length, 30 ~ 50cm tail, 5 ~ 10kg body weight.
Also, they are a very close animal to the
raccoons.
How close is the zoo
environment to the natural
environment? The zoo
environment is close to the
environment of the Red Pandas,
but they did not have bamboos
around for them to eat with their
paws, but maybe the zoo keepers
are feeding them bamboo.
What can the zoo do to
make the animal’s
environment closer to the
natural environment? They
should add some bamboo trees
in their Man-Made habitat
because if they do that, the red
pandas can eat when ever they
want, and visitors can see the
Red Pandas eating bamboo with
their paws.
