Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal transfer device technology, and more specifically, to a red panda transfer cage. Background Technology
[0002] The red panda, also known as the "red panda," primarily inhabits the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests of the Himalayas and the mountains of southwestern China, with Sichuan Province being its most concentrated distribution area. Red pandas have highly specialized diets, a relatively long breeding cycle, and a high cub mortality rate; once their population declines, recovery is difficult. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) listed the red panda as an Appendix I species in 1995, prohibiting international trade. In 2015, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) upgraded its endangered status to Endangered (EN – dangerous, EN) in its Red Data Book. In my country, the red panda is listed as a Class II protected animal. Outside of the breeding season, red pandas of similar ages are often kept together to ensure that the population structure and size meet their social, physiological, and psychological well-being, promote natural behavioral expression, and prevent abnormal social interactions. Without female red pandas, groups consisting entirely of males frequently suffer injuries from fighting. To avoid this, groups typically only house one or two adult male red pandas together, with other males kept separately. However, sometimes females also fight and get injured. During the breeding season, red pandas need to be kept together, usually in small groups of one male and one female or one male and several females for breeding purposes. However, due to hormonal changes during the breeding season, fights and injuries between individuals are common. In such cases, it is necessary to adjust the number of red pandas of different sexes and temperaments according to the actual situation, and to transport and treat injured individuals.
[0003] Existing transport cages, such as CN106605598A (a pig transport cage) and CN113100089A (a field transport cage), can only ensure ease of use and do not provide sufficient safety protection for the animals. During the transport process, bumpy road conditions may cause the red pandas to hit the cage walls, which may worsen the condition of injured red pandas. Utility Model Content
