Cute and funny video of red panda pooping and wiping in Zagreb ZOO Croatia

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is a carnivoran native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because the wild population is estimated at fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression. Despite its name, it is not closely related to the giant panda.

The red panda has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs; it is roughly the size of a domestic cat, though with a longer body. It is arboreal and feeds mainly on bamboo, but also eats eggs, birds, and insects. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day. It is also called the lesser panda, the red bear-cat, and the red cat-bear.

The red panda is the only living member of the genus Ailurus and the family Ailuridae. It has previously been placed in the raccoon and bear families, but the results of phylogenetic analysis provide strong support for its taxonomic classification in its own family, Ailuridae, which is part of the superfamily Musteloidea, along with the weasel, raccoon and skunk families. Traditionally it was thought to consist of two subspecies. However, results of genetic analysis indicate that there are probably two distinct red panda species, the Chinese red panda and the Himalayan red panda, which genetically diverged 0.22 million years ago.

Video crvenog pande u Zagrebačkom ZOO-u.

Crveni ili mali panda (Ailurus fulgens), sisavac biljožder, neznatno veći od domaće mačke, dužine oko 56 centimetara. Nastanjuje Himalaju u Nepalu i južnoj Kini.

Obje vrste pandi imaju osobine i medvjeda i rakuna. Njihov zajednički predak vodi podrijetlo od doba prije 10.000.000 godina i nastanjivao je oblasti širom Euroazije. Fosili crveni pande su iskopani na mjestima od Kine na istoku do Britanije na zapadu, te u skorije vrijeme i u Sjevernoj Americi.

Postoje dvije podvrste crvenih pandi: zapadni crveni panda (Ailurus fulgens fulgens) koji obitava u zapadnom dijelu spomenute oblasti, dok Ailurus fulgens styani naseljava istočno-sjeveroistočne dijelove Nepala. Zapadni crveni panda ima svjetlije krzno, pogotovo u licu, te ima manje vidljiva facijalna obilježja.

Znanstveno ime Ailurus fulgens se može prevesti kao „mačka koja svijetli”, i dolazi od grčke riječi αίλουρος (mačka) i od oblika latinskog glagola fulgere, koji znači „sijati, svijetliti”.

Crveni panda je klasificiran je u ugrožene sisavce. Populacija se procjenjuje na manje od 2.500 odraslih jedinki, a ovaj broj kontinuirano opada uslijed odvojenih i usamljenih populacija. U Hrvatskoj crveni pande žive u Zoološkom vrtu grada Zagreba.
