Pandas are solitary animals. They spend two-thirds of their day feeding and the remainder of the day resting. Extremely agile climbers, they usually climb only when they are in danger from predators such   more...as brown bears, leopards, and wild dogs. They take refuge in the nearest tree until danger has passed. Pandas have no particular resting place; they simply lie down on the ground wherever they happen to be. Pandas live in cold, damp conditions. They have exceptionally dense waterproof coats that give protection against these conditions.
At one time, the greatest threat to the giant panda's survival was man, who hunted it for its pelt. Today the principal cause of its decline is the erosion of its habitat due to crop cultivation or from natural causes such as die-back of bamboo. As its natural habitat becomes increasingly surrounded by human settlement, the panda can no longer migrate to unaffected areas. The Chinese people now support any measures necessary for the panda's protection. As a result, those caught hunting the animal face severe penalties. Special sanctuaries have been established in the panda's natural habitat with enough space for 500 to 600 animals. Scientists are studying the animal's habits and instituting a comprehensive conservation program. Zoos are also collaborating in the development of a captive breeding project.Related Species
The name panda is taken from the animal now known as the cat-bear. The cat-bear is also known as the lesser or red panda.  less

Sorry it has been a while since I uploaded. This is part 2 in my videos of endangered species, featuring tigers.

Greatly Endangered

This species is in a very sharp decline and is being systematically killed or removed from its natural habitat. Its future looks bleak unless sanctuaries can be created to safeguard   more...this extraordinary creature of immense solitude and peace.. .the "Gray Ghost" cat. In words of biologist George B. Schaller, "Suddenly I saw the snow leopard. Wisps of cloud moved between us, and she became a ghost creature, appearing and disappearing as if in a dream."
Snow leopards do not roar, they are considered nocturnal, but they are active in the early morning and late afternoon. The longest a Snow leopard has live in captivity is 15 years. The reason they are endangered is poaching for the fur, loss of habitat caused by deforestation and dam projects, and loss of food sources. How people are trying to help them is habitat protection, captive breeding, stiff penalties for poachers and international buyers or illegal furs, and public education.  less

The Bornean species of orangutans is highly endangered, and the Sumatran species is critically endangered, according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, and both are listed on Appendix I of CITES. The Borneo   more...population is estimated at about 50,000 in the wild, while the Sumatran species is estimated at 7000-7500 individuals. The orangutan is an official state animal of Sabah in Malaysia. Orangutan habitat destruction due to logging, mining and forest fires has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. A major factor in that period of time has been the conversion of vast areas of tropical forest to oil palm plantations, for the production of palm oil. Some UN scientists believe that these plantations could lead to the extinction of the species by the year 2012. Much of this activity is illegal, occurring in national parks that are officially off limits to loggers, miners and plantation development. There is also a major problem with the poaching of baby orangutans for sale into the pet trade, the trappers usually kill the mother to steal the baby. Major conservation centres in Indonesia include those at Tanjung Puting in Central Kalimantan, Kutai in East Kalimantan, Gunung Palung in West Kalimantan, and Bukit Lawang in the Gunung Leuser National Park on the border of Aceh and North Sumatra. In Malaysia, conservation areas include Semenggok in Sarawak, and the Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre near Sandakan in Sabah.  less

Part 1 in a series of videos I will be uploading with endangered species. This video was made with the help of my son.

It is first video I ever made. You can see many animals there that are in a danger of extinction, such as amur leopards, monkeys, elephants, dolphins, polar bears, pandas, rare birds and deers. Panthera   more...pardus orientalis is actually the most endangered in the world because only 20-30 are remaining in Russia and no more than 10 can be found in China.

SPECIES 4 THE AWAKENING

So many animals and plants that are endangered. My expression of remorse, and sorrow.
