Although this may provide more bamboo it isolates the already endangered, Giant Panda populations from each other. The higher elevations also bring a more rough terrain, which then causes the panda to spend far more energy searching for food. Considering bamboo has almost no nutritional value the panda needs to spend most of its energy simply eating, not traveling over rough terrain searching. That's just one animal whose habitat loss also affects their food source.…
All in all, the Burmese python population is rapidly reproducing because the females lay many eggs in one clutch, and can grow very quickly and large.…
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.…
The Burmese python has many characteristics that allow it to fall under two category’s, one being a blood thirsty killer and the other an attractive house hold pet to some. The python has many special feats that allow it to be an apex predator but one of the best must be the non-hinged jaw that allow it to swallow prey twice the size of its head! And in addition to that the python has a beautiful pattern of green, black, and many other colors along its back originally used for camouflage in the wild. Also the…

While pandas live in the zoo the pandas are facing many threats in their sustained survival. The situation is really dangerous and there is a risk that giant pandas could become extinct. There is a danger of them becoming extinct because of road construction, mining, natural disasters, climate change and there is more production of waste. I think panda’s environment should be changed because they are becoming threatened because of the climate and construction changes. Bamboo is also becoming restricted to the distribution; bamboo will disappear by end of the 21st century because it wouldn’t be able to grow under the high temperature.…
There?s an estimated 1600 pandas left. While 300 of those pandas live in zoos, mostly in China. The reason for this decline is that pandas in their natural habitat is in forests or in the mountains in Southwestern China are being cut down. They are cutting down the forest because of Chinas population growth. This is pushing the pandas into small isolated areas.…

This year, an estimated 273 people will die from drowning. That’s about the same as the current giant panda population. And each year, we will continue to lose anywhere from 250 to 350 people; as the graph on my right indicates. There is a weak association between this data, meaning that each year, deaths aren’t decreasing, like in an ideal world; despite the variety of campaigns each summer, urging us to ‘be safe around water’. Obviously, this issue isn’t just going to go away and we can't continue to do anything to address it if we want to decrease the death toll.…
Clouded Leopards eat a variety from food. They eat mainly deer, wild pigs, birds, monkeys and other small mammals. Some biotic factors of the rainforest, or rainforests, of Indonesia are jaguars, anteaters, lemurs, and many others. Some plants of many plant species are bamboo, banana trees, and rubber trees. Water, rain, rocks, the ground, the sky, and the climate, temperature, and weather are some abiotic factors.…
