Book Description
Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda provides a broad-based overview of the biology of the red panda, Ailurus fulgens. A carnivore that feeds almost entirely on vegetable material and is colored chestnut red, chocolate brown and cream rather than the expected black and white. This book gathers all the information that is available on the red panda both from the field and captivity as well as from cultural aspects, and attempts to answer that most fundamental of questions, "What is a red panda?" Scientists have long focused on the red panda’s controversial taxonomy. Is it in fact an Old World procyonid, a very strange bear or simply a panda? All of these hypotheses are addressed in an attempt to classify a unique species and provide an in-depth look at the scientific and conservation-based issues urgently facing the red panda today. Red Panda not only presents an overview of the current state of our knowledge about this intriguing species but it is also intended to bring the red panda out of obscurity and into the spotlight of public attention. Wide-ranging account of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) covers all the information that is available on this species both in and ex situ Discusses the status of the species in the wild, examines how human activities impact on their habitat, and develops projections to translate this in terms of overall panda numbers Reports on status in the wild, looks at conservation issues and considers the future of this unique species Includes contributions from long-standing red panda experts as well as those specializing in fields involving cutting-edge red panda research.

Book Description
Stella is 17, attractive, smart, deeply alienated and unable to face life's absurdities. She is not nihilistic; she is prematurely exhausted. Since her parents OD'd on designer drugs when she was 11, she has lived with foster parents, while her grandfather, her only living relative, repeatedly attempts suicide in his retirement home.Beneath Stella's mordantly funny take on life is the decisiveness with which she disengages from it, planting clues for the act she's about to commit. With remarkable wit, Stella turns her farewell to suburbia into a philosophical inquiry.

Table of Contents Introduction What is a red panda? How do red pandas act? Where do red pandas live? What kinds of red pandas are there? The history of red pandas and humans The genetic debate Red pandas as pets Conclusion Introduction The red panda is probably one of the cutest creatures around, easily tying with the giant panda. But why are they both called pandas if they look so incredibly different? And what makes the red panda different from, say, a raccoon? Red pandas are unique animals all their own. They live in Asia, towards the East, and they have been a more recent favorite animal of many children and adults. Unlike its name-sibling the giant panda, the red panda receives less attention than many endangered animals. However, it is also one of the more common zoo animals, since red pandas do so well in zoos. What makes the red panda an animal worth knowing? There are a lot of answers to that question, and we will cover them in this book.
