Description
Red pandas have a bear-like body with thick russet fur. The belly and limbs are black and there are white markings on the side of the head and above the small eyes. They have what looks like black tear markings from each eye.. The thick bushy tails with light-brown rings, pointed ears and a pointed snout, has cast some doubt by some scientists if they may be more related to racoons but the evidence is far from clear.
Red Pandas are endangered with only a few thousand in the wild, and I featured one I took 18 months ago in my Fragile Earth series and a member here at the time pointed me to the book by David Quammen that examines the intricacies of evolution as illustrated by the study of islands. These isolated and unique environments provide us with a microscopic view of what happens to species as theY evolve together over time. Hence the part of the title given.. Recommended reading..
