Temperature of Climate
Red pandas only live in temperate forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The temperature in this region is generally cool, and there is little annual variation.
Red pandas' range spreads from northeastern India through Nepal and Bhutan to Myanmar and southwestern China. Most of these areas receive around 140 inches of rain annually and sometimes see some snowfall. Although their native forests receive a lot of rain, captive red pandas have a low tolerance for hot, humid weather. When temperatures climb above 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, red pandas are susceptible to heat stress, especially if there’s high humidity in the air, too.
