If they went extinct, bamboo would grow rapidly because that is what they feed on. The population of snow leopards and martens would decrease because they both rely on red pandas as prey. Snow leopards may also start traveling into villages because the lack of food which could cause harm to the villagers.]]> 2023-04-27 22:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2570964414 chasewohnoutka https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2570969259 • Altitude of about 2,500 meters above sea level

Red Pandas usually hang out in trees where the leopards cannot reach them. Their red fur also helps them blend into the tree trunks and branches. But, the snow leopards are smart and wait for the pandas near streams to rely on them for food. If red pandas went extinct the snow leopards population would decrease because of the lack of food.]]> 2023-04-27 22:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2570976275 chasewohnoutka https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2571004171 2023-04-27 23:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2571004171 chasewohnoutka https://padlet.com/chasewohnoutka/rxl78hbw0s0bju4q/wish/2571005938 An endangered specie that competes with the red panda is the Giant Panda.
