Red Pandas

Bushy tail sways ... Furry feet grip and grab ... Meet the red panda! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these Himalayan mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Pakistani legend about the red panda adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
