Climate Change is severely affecting animals that rely on land and specific food sources. This is true because once an animals land is destroyed it removes their food source as well. For example the Giant Panda's diet revolves around bamboo. Now that climate change is ruining bamboo forests the panda is left with little to no food. This forces them to migrate from their low elevation habitats, to higher elevations like mountains.…
The sesamoid bone of this species resembles that of a red panda which supports taxonomic relationship placing it in the Ailuridae family, the same as the red panda. The Simocyon batelleri fossils suggest that traits such as tree living environments and hyper carnivore diets were present (Glatston, 2010). This trait which is also included in giant pandas, noting they are a different species than that of the red panda, challenge the hypothesis whether the red panda and giant panda are actually related. This is because the presence of the pseudo-thumb found in the Simocyon, is not the only indicator of common ancestry between the two species, but structure of the teeth come into play as well. Fossil evidence shows that the diet of a Simocyon would have a more general carnivorous diet instead of an herbivorous diet that both red and giant pandas have.…

Only a small portion of their diet consists of animal matter (Florida State University; Tallahassee Museum). Black bears are not active predators and they prefer to feed on the carcasses of dead animals (Florida State University; Tallahassee Museum). They tend to receive most of their protein by feeding on insects such as ants, beetles, termites, and bees (Florida State University; Tallahassee Museum). Grasses, nuts, berries, acorns, fruit, and roots make up most of a black bear’s diet (Florida State University; Tallahassee Museum). A black bear’s diet is typically high in carbohydrates, but they favor high protein and fatty foods, which explains why they often dig in trash cans and steal human food (Florida State University; Tallahassee Museum).…
