Why Are Red Pandas Endangered? WorldAtlas
Red pandas are nocturnal and often live alone, except during mating season or when they are raising young. Females are only fertile for a couple of days each year, giving red pandas a very short reproduction window. Once pregnant, they gestate for around 130 days and give birth to litters of one to four cubs. The mothers raise their young alone.

Pandas eat a lot of bamboo, even more than their red counterparts. While the diet of a red panda comprises about 95% bamboo, that of panda bears is made of 99% or more. While they can be considered fully vegetarian, if they have to, panda bears might also hunt for small rodents or eat other plants - especially if they do not have access to.
