You can observe and appreciate them at many U. Red pandas' range spreads from northeastern India through Nepal and Bhutan to Myanmar and southwestern China. Most of these areas receive around inches of rain annually and sometimes see some snowfall. Although their native forests receive a lot of rain, captive red pandas have a low tolerance for hot, humid weather.
The fur that covers their bodies, including on the bottoms of their feet, helps trap warmth. They wrap their tails around themselves when they sleep.
Red pandas generally live in altitudes between 4, and 13, feet. A few live at lower elevations. How do a pair of pandas live in the frozen north?

The giant panda was once widespread throughout southern and eastern China, as well as neighbouring Myanmar and northern Vietnam.
But due to expanding human populations and development, the species is now restricted to around 20 isolated patches of bamboo forest in six mountain ranges in China's Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.
Most of the remaining wild pandas live in the Minshan and Qinling mountains. And it is here that WWF has focussed its giant panda conservation work, supporting the Chinese government's efforts to conserve the species. Since habitat loss is the most serious threat to the panda, establishing new reserves and extending existing ones are crucial to its survival.
