Wildlife monitoring
There is no real scientific way that red pandas are being monitored by. The way red pandas are monitored is by different teams of people such as WWF or RPN. They study these Red Pandas and other species. They monitor the Red Pandas because the Red Panda population is decreasing. There is less than 10,000 Red Pandas left in the wild. Some of the pandas being in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Xizang provinces in China. You would mainly find these pandas in The Himalaya mountains near Nepen, and Bhutan.
This video basically gives a demonstration on how their population is decreasing and how we should help.
Adaptions
As you can see this pandas fur is light on the top of its body and dark on the bottom. The pandas fur creates camouflage from its predators. It often blends in with tree branches. The red panda mainly does live in the trees and that's why their paws are made to climb along with it's claws. Red Pandas also have really long tails that they use to wrap around their selves as blankets because they don't only live in the rain forests but also in northern mountains where the climate is cold. The red pandas living area is being taken over though and they are losing land to live. The red panda also has whiskers that help guide the red panda places in the dark. The whiskers also are sensitive meaning when the whiskers are touched the panda is alerted and their brain tells the panda how to react.
This picture is showing where the red pandas live, Their population is decreasing each day. They have no where else to really live anymore but in China, because of the mountains they provide and their rainforests.
