The red panda's lifespan in captivity reaches 14 years. [29] They have been recorded falling prey to leopards in the wild. [73] Faecal samples of red panda collected in Nepal contained parasitic protozoa, amoebozoans, roundworms, trematodes and tapeworms. [74] [75] Roundworms, tapeworms and coccidia were also found in red panda scat collected in Rara and Langtang National Parks. [76] Fourteen red pandas at the Knoxville Zoo suffered from severe ringworm, so the tails of two were amputated. [77] Chagas disease was reported as the cause of death of a red panda kept in a Kansas zoo. [78] Amdoparvovirus was detected in the scat of six red pandas in the Sacramento Zoo. [79] Eight captive red pandas in a Chinese zoo suffered from shortness of breath and fever shortly before they died of pneumonia; autopsy revealed that they had antibodies to the protozoans Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis species indicating that they were intermediate hosts. [80] A captive red panda in the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding died of unknown reasons; an autopsy showed that its kidneys, liver and lungs were damaged by a bacterial infection caused by Escherichia coli. [81] Threats The red panda has a relatively small head, though proportionally larger than in similarly sized raccoons, with a reduced snout and triangular ears, and nearly evenly lengthed limbs. [28] [29] It has a head-body length of 51–63.5cm (20.1–25.0in) with a 28–48.5cm (11.0–19.1in) tail. The Himalayan red panda is recorded to weigh 3.2–9.4kg (7.1–20.7lb), while the Chinese red panda weighs 4–15kg (8.8–33.1lb) for females and 4.2–13.4kg (9.3–29.5lb) for males. [28] It has five curved digits on each foot, each with curved semi-retractile claws that aid in climbing. [29] The pelvis and hindlimbs have flexible joints, adaptations for an arboreal quadrupedal lifestyle. [31] While not prehensile, the tail helps the animal balance while climbing. [29] The origin of the name panda is uncertain, but one of the most likely theories is that it derived from the Nepali word "ponya". [3] The word पञ्जा pajā or पौँजा pañjā means "ball of the foot" and "claws". [4] The Nepali words "nigalya ponya" has been translated as "bamboo footed" and is thought to be the red panda's Nepali name; in English, it was simply called panda, and was the only animal known under this name for more than 40 years; it became known as the red panda or lesser panda to distinguish it from the giant panda, which was formally described and named in 1869.

A seven-year-old female named Jin Yi died in 2014 in a zoo in Zhengzhou, China, after showing symptoms of gastroenteritis and respiratory disease. It was found that the cause of death was toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan known as Toxoplasma gondii that infects most warm-blooded animals, including humans.

In the 1970s, gifts of giant pandas to American and Japanese zoos formed an important part of the diplomacy of the People's Republic of China (PRC), as it marked some of the first cultural exchanges between China and the West. This practice has been termed "panda diplomacy". [123] The giant panda genome was sequenced in 2009 using Illumina dye sequencing. [55] Its genome contains 20 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.

A detailed study of the giant panda's genetic history from 2012 [34] confirms that the separation of the Qinlin population occurred about 300,000 years ago, and reveals that the non-Qinlin population further diverged into two groups, named the Minshan and the Qionglai- Daxiangling- Xiaoxiangling- Liangshan group respectively, about 2,800 years ago.

[28] [29] However, because it eats leaves and stems, which are not as tough, it has smaller chewing muscles than the giant panda. The digestive system of the red panda is only 4.2 times its body length, with a simple stomach, no noticeable divide between the ileum and colon, and no caecum.
