 Spread:

 If we talk about their spread, only five countries in Asia, India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Myanmar are found in the forest in the mountains. About 50% of them are found in the eastern Himalayas.  There are about 10,000 of them in the forests. They like to live in forests where there is an abundance of bamboo.

 Body characteristics:

The red panda is a cat-shaped animal whose face is very similar to that of a cat. Its skin colour is red and brown while its eyes, cheeks and ears have white hair. It also has a lot of hair on its tail which makes it look like a bush, with 12 to 18 stripes of brown and red on its tail. But it also spreads its tail like a blanket.
 They also have hairs on the soles of their feet that help them hold on to trees. Like other giant pandas, they have an extra toe that allows them to hold bamboo trunks and tree branches.
 Two subtypes have been reported so far
 1. Ailurus (fulgens) styrene
 They are mostly found in China
 2. Ailurus (fulgens) gens
 This subspecies is found in India, Bhutan and Nepal
 

Food:

Although they are placed in the carnivorous order of carnivores, they rarely eat meat and their diet consists of 90% bamboo leaves. They also eat beech, berries, and grass, and occasionally clean their hands on rats, lizards, and bird eggs. That is why they are called omnivores.

 Behaviour:

 This panda spends most of its time sleeping and resting on trees and is very active in the morning or evening. Such animals are called Crepuscular. Likes to be alone and only paired with females between January and March.
 To identify his area, he releases a foul-smelling chemical from the anal part of his body, which he applies to various objects in his area, a clear indication to his opponents that their entry here could put them in trouble. ۔

 Breeding:

 The mating usually takes place between January and March and the gestation period is four months, after which the female gives birth to between one and five babies in the hollow trunks of old trees. These babies are called cubs. These babies are blind and deaf and open their eyes after one month. The female takes care of the babies till they reach puberty. Already die
 Their life span is ten to twelve years.

 the hunter:

 Their predators include the snow leopard and martin. In addition, deforestation, construction work, natural disasters, wildfires, and climate change have put their natural habitats and species at risk.
 Humans hunt them for their fur.
