What are the different types of pandas? The giant panda can attain a height of 4 to 6 feet. It lives in the forests of southwest China, and its diet consists largely of bamboo. The red panda is about 42 inches long, including its tail, and is found in southwest China and in the eastern Himalayas. While it relies on bamboo for most of its sustenance, it also dines on berries, insects and bird eggs. Both types of pandas are endangered.
Female pandas are generally smaller than males and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kilograms (220 pounds). The giant panda has a body typical of bears. Pandas have black fur on their ears, eye patches, muzzles, legs and shoulders. The rest of the pandas coat is white. The pandas thick, wooly coat keeps it warm in the cool forests of its habitat.
