Red Panda
The adorable Red Panda is predominantly found in the Himalayan region, making its home amidst the mountain peaks and conifer forests. It measures about 20 to 25 inches in body length and weighs approximately 7 kilograms. Its excessively long tail that measures up to 23 inches is used to gain balance and provide camouflaging from falling prey to its predators. The Red Panda has soft reddish-brown fur on the upper parts, blackish fur on the belly-side and white fur on its round face as well as pointy ears that are lined with white fur borders. Its short chubby legs give it a stubby appearance, which makes it extremely irresistible. This gentle creature also possesses unique tear markings, ebony-coloured eyes and an outstanding ringed bushy tail that is yellowish red. Red pandas are considered members of their own distinctive family – the Ailuridae.

The Red Panda is generally docile and solitary unless its territory is invaded or the mating season is ongoing. Its common habits make it difficult to be spotted. It’s nocturnal, enjoys sleeping on tree branches or hollows, and very little sound can be heard except for some occasional whistling, chirrups and tweeting. Closer to sundown is when the Red Panda actually begins its daily activity. It is heat sensitive and stays away from the sun. In extreme cold, its bushy tail serves as a warm cover over its face. Its thick fur too provides thermal insulation to keep this mammal warm. The Red Panda can also be seen sleeping with its body stretched out and legs dangling off the tree branch on a hot day.

The youngest mother is around 18 months of age before she fully matures in about two to three years. She can give birth up to four cubs, which are born deaf and blind.

In their third month, they start resembling their parents –

    Sea Lion

    • 308 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Inhabitants on the islands of the Galapagos Archipelago, the Galapagos Sea Lion is an intriguing marine mammal whose looks may deceive you because despite its amiable countenance it is truly a fierce predator and protector. The Galapagos Sea Lion, also known as the Pagos Sea Lion, spends a great majority of its day in the water hunting for prey, however it does not venture out very far from its territory due to the fact that their main predators tend to be there. Their prey is primarily fish, squid, octopus, and crustaceans, and predators are sharks and killer whales, but humans are not a threat now. Pursuing this further, humans were a prodigious threat previously when sea lions of all kinds were hunted for meat, skin, and oil. Luckily, though hunting of this species and many others have been banned and their numbers are recovered. Interestingly enough, they are completely unafraid of man though and have gotten on motor boats, jetties, and approach divers without a single ounce of fear! Also, bulls (males) always dominate a territory for approximately a month before being taken over by a different bull and in between that time defend it to the best of their ability. Unlike many other sea lion species, the breeding season doesn’t depend on migration, and therefore varies from year to year. When a cow (female) gives live birth, she only gives it to a single pup and after is extremely protective and careful that nothing bad happens to their child. Lastly, bulls weight range from 200-400 kilograms, have brown skin color, and length is 200-250 centimeters. Cows though are only 50-110 kilograms, have tan skin color, and length is 150-200 centimeters. That aside they are both provided with powerful fins and can control the back fins freely which gives agility on their sandy or rocky flat beaches.…
