WikiPandas are two related forms of WikiFauna. "WikiPanda" usually refers to the Giant WikiPanda, a large mammal noted for its almost singular diet. There is also the Red WikiPanda, a subspecies of the WikiPanda, which has some notable differences.

WikiPandas are usually docile in the wild, marking their territory by creating a single article, but they grow depressed and inactive in the captivity of talk pages, only munching slightly on messages that relate to their diet.

Many users seek to encourage WikiPandas to be more successful, such as nurturing their native habitats. Still, some users (possibly overlapping with the previous category) believe that while animal cruelty and driving species to extinction is wrong, nature only recognizes the survival of the fittest. Indeed, the WikiPanda's singular diet, refusal to fulfill basic urges for companionship, and the occasional rumors of eating of their own young appear to leave them doomed to permanent inactivity.

The distantly related Red WikiPanda, however, appears to enjoy the captivity of talk pages and, although still specialized in a particular topic, their diet might also include flowers, fruits, or eggs. Some have even been seen munching on small birds.

The Red Wikipanda's adaptability has led to suggestions that they might be domesticated. Still, despite being more adaptable than the Giant WikiPanda, Red WikiPandas still do not handle high temperatures very well and need to be kept in a cool environment to remain healthy.
