Lesser Panda








Do you know Kung Fu Panda which is a movie?  There is a charater that is Lesser Panda in the movie.  In fact, almost people like and love Lesser Panda. They have defferent color such as ear and tail but their body is brown color. Also they have big round eyes.





They belong to the raccon (너구리) and bear family. their habitat is a range from Eest of  himalaya to West of China. their tail is 30 ~ 50 cm long and they weight 3 ~ 4.5kg. they paly and sleep in a tree and  rock. They can climb a tree quickly. Mostly they eat fruit and plant.





Lesser Panda is quite a docile, tractable animal. But they dislike that someone touch them. They are a nocturnal animal, so they sleep on a tree in the daytime and then they come down in the night. The funny thing is that they can be the biped (=erect) position. This positon looks like human when  seen from a distance.

We can see Lesser Pande in the Seoul Grand Park in Korea. they are listed on endangered animal, so the number of them disappear in the world. Therefore, we need to interest them and should try to protect them for next generation.
