Pandas Are Not A Valuable Resource
I believe we should allow nature to take its course because Pandas are not a valuable resource. We do not use them or need them in any aspect of our survival, it seems to be a waste of costly conservation efforts and funds. There are many other important animals near extinction in dire need of the funds we waste on pandas. If many of these underfunded animals go extinct, it will cause entire ecosystems to perish along with overpopulation, breaks in the food chain and many other serious effects. They are the most expensive animal to be kept in captivity and hold many unsuccessful attempts at being rehabilitated after the breeding process. The panda is not a sustainable species as it is easily susceptible to many diseases, can only eat one food

    Pandas may seem small in size but they really do eat a lot, and they spend a lot of time looking for their food! Research has shown that panda bears will spend up to 2/3 of a day feeding and the other 1/3 of the day they will spend resting and sleeping (OneKind). Also have you heard that pandas are skilled tree climbers and swimmers. Pandas will even travel up to 4,000 meters to feed on higher slopes in the summer (OneKind). You may wonder if they travel this much for food , what do they eat! Some of a pandas favorite foods are plant stems, tree leaves, and young bamboo shoots. So they are mostly herbivorous (EOL)!…

    In the novel Endangered by Lamar Giles, the main character Lauren, also known as “Panda” acts quite different than others. Lauren has a reputation of being invisible and unnoticed. What many do not know though is that she practices this behavior on purpose. By day she is known as the “hallway ghost” but by night she is the great author of Gray Scales, a popular magazine created to expose those who have wronged others. I think Panda acts quiet and shy on purpose because she wants to keep herself unsuspected from being the author of Gray Scales. If she were to be discovered she will surely never be accepted because of all the people she has humiliated with her breathtaking photography skills. Therefore I conclude, Panda avoids unwanted attention…

    With a touch of humor, geology, evolutionary theory, biology, cartoon characters and even some references to baseball, The Panda's Thumb definitely makes excellent reading for people with all types of interests. The old cliché, "Don't judge a book by its cover," or in this case, title, holds true for The Panda's Thumb. Theories concerning adaptations of the panda are only a fraction of the many exciting facts held within the pages of this publication. Gould is able to put what he writes about in words that are easy to understand without compromising the quality of the information. Many questions are raised in this book. Some questions that science just can't answer at the moment. Time is a major theme in some of the essays in The Panda's Thumb. I found these essays of utmost interest.…

    Because Panda Bears are known for their kind nature and plant-based diet they are best suited more than any other animal for sending a message about protecting our planet and keeping the peace. In Talulaville, there are also many other animals that inhabit the land, like monkeys, hippopotamus’, various birds and more. By having these other secondary characters with stories producers can implement challenging scenarios that may not necessarily affect the panda’s but give the four panda’s an opportunity to help someone…

    Should the government help save the pandas, I say yes. My research shows that the panda population has increased a lot, since the government started to help. Next, from 1996 to 2006 the population increased from 1,000 pandas to 1,600 pandas because of the government helping out that is a lot of pandas (Doc 1). Second, currently there are about 2,000 pandas in the wild (OI). Third, the reason the pandas are dying is the bamboo is decreasing and 99% of the panda diet is bamboo (Doc 4).

    Did you know that the animal population is decreasing by 0.1% each year. Therefore, it will take 573 years for all animals to die. What will we do then? Every time a species goes extinct, it has a huge impact on the ecosystem. Say a predator goes extinct. Its prey will overpopulate, which can also lead to horrible consequences. Or what if a prey goes extinct. Its predator will have find a new food source or go extinct with it. Also, in a recent survey, nine out of ten people said they would pay tax dollars to save the giant panda. One out of ten people said they would pay to save the Eurasian Hazel Dormouse. Nobody was interested in saving the Dung Beetle or Wasp. Why is this when they do so much for us. The Dung Beetle puts important…

    The Not so Red Panda

    • 748 Words

    The Red Panda, much like the Giant Panda, relies heavily upon bamboo for its diet, but due to destruction of their habitat, bamboo is not always an option. In addition to that the Red Panda will only eat the youngest and most tender shoots and leaves, also chewing it thoroughly where the giant panda barely chews at all. Red Pandas also have a small, bony projection on their wrists that helps them grip bamboo stalks. The Red Panda actually slows its metabolism rate when no bamboo can be found for survival and in cold weather. When in times of need, the Red Panda will scavenge for fruits and hunt insects and small mammals (Mcdonald 14). Red pandas are also the only known mammal to be able to taste artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame. The Red Panda spends the majority of its day, approximately 13 hours, foraging around for food. The female, being the more dominant of the species, must eat 30% of its body weight and up to 200,000 bamboo leaves a day due to slow metabolism (Delaney, Cameron).…

    Others think that the zoo is a great place to view mother nature's creatures for a reasonable price. In the excerpt, “Zoos Connect Us to the Natural World”, it states, “Only a small percentage of our nation's citizens can afford to travel to exotic locations to view wild tigers, elephants, or giant pandas”. But, that right there states wild tigers, elephants and pandas, and they are called wild animals for a reason they are supposed to be free and well wild. So instead of keeping these animals caged up we should let them be what they are meant to be and that is wild animals.…

    Endangered species have more right not to be killed than members of other species, endangered species whose numbers are so small that the species is at risk of extinction. Once the endangered animals are gone they won't come back. They are an important role in wildlife, if we take them out the whole system will be disrupted if some animals start to become extinct they could ruin the food chain and sometimes affect us or other creatures. If people kill too many mice, foxes get less food to eat, and there would be way too many bugs biting people, and there wouldn't be enough plants for all the bugs. Every animal has a purpose in this world if it is killed it won’t be able to fulfil its purpose and will ruin the dynamic of things.…
