Ailurus fulgens (scientific name: Ailurus fulgens), also known as panda, red panda and Firefox, is a kind of mammal, which is distributed in the southern part of China to the foothills of Himalayas, Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and other countries. It belongs to Carnivora, the red panda family. Whether it should be listed in Xiong Ke or Xiong Huan has been a controversial issue for many years.
Through genetic analysis, it is considered that raccoons have the closest genetic relationship with the American continent and should be classified as the red panda family alone. Giant pandas and red pandas are very similar in morphology and anatomy, and both eat bamboo leaves. But the giant panda is big, and the little panda is more like a fat cat. Pandas and bears are cousins, and pandas and bears are close relatives at most.
Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, scientific name: Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a carnivorous mammal in Xiong Ke, and its body color is black and white. Panda is an endemic species in China, and its existing main habitat is the mountainous area around Sichuan Basin in central and western China. There are about 1590 wild giant pandas in the world. Because of its low reproduction rate, it is rated as an endangered species in China's Red Book of Endangered Animals and is a national treasure of China. Giant pandas are known as living fossils in the biological world.
The number of these two animals is different, and the protection level is also different.
