Movies with talking animals are fantastic. But a film with animals that can do Kung Fu is pretty interesting. If you want to fill your curiosity, here is the Kung Fu Panda in real life.
1. PO PING

Throughout the Kung Fu Panda franchise, giant panda Po is an easygoing yet a talented Kung Fu artist. Po’s personality and appearance are mirrored to his kind in real life. Giant pandas can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh up to 300 pounds. They have a voracious appetite, feasting on fish, vegetables, or other small animals. However, most of their diet consists of bamboo shoots and leaves. Even though Po’s frame is enormous, he still possesses swift movements. This can be justified since pandas can climb as high as 13,000 feet, they are also good swimmers, and male pandas are known to perform handstands against trees when relaxing.
2. MASTER SHIFU

Despite his small frame, Shifu is seen to be a wise and brilliant mentor. Like his real-life version, Red Pandas grow up to 26 inches and weigh up to 10 pounds. They are known to be very skillful and acrobatic animals since they dwell in trees. A fascinating thing that a red panda can do is tweet, not the “Twitter” app thing, but they produce sounds known as “twittering.”
3. MASTER OOGWAY

Handling the harsh reality with his calmness and nobility, Oogway passed away from old age, imparting wise lessons. He mirrored how the Galapagos tortoise lives. They are known to live an uncomplicated life, merely composed of activities such as napping for 16 hours, eating, and basking under the sun. Tortoise are known to live for a long time, averaging over 100 years, and they are also large, growing up to 5 feet in length, and can weigh up to 550 pounds.
4. TIGRESS

Being a South China Tiger, Tigress is seen to display undeniable strength and speed. Though this tiger species is known to be the second smallest (measuring up to 104 inches in length), they are known to be strong, fast, and keen hunters of their prey. In the film, Tigress spent most of her life alone, which mirrored how South China Tiger prefers to be alone than to be in the company of their streaks.
5. VIPER

Despite not having any fangs, Viper displays her swiftness and talent in Kung Fu using ribbon dancing. Being viper snake, they are known to have long fangs and deadly venom. In the film, Viper is known for her fluidity and lightning-fast movements; however, real-life vipers are sluggish. It is because they prefer to camouflage with their surroundings rather than just to slither away. But, when it comes to attacking, vipers are known for their swift strike.
6. MONKEY

His cunning and mischievous personality makes his martial arts ability to be deadly. Being a Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, it mirrored him such as that this monkey species are known to be sociable and spend most of their day in a group. They also love to swing on trees, making it their daily activities. Whenever they are threatened, they are known to climb high up into the trees.
7. MANTIS

Regardless of his small figure, his quick and precise movements make him invisible, almost impossible to fight. Mirroring a real mantis, their unpredictable stance makes them a deadly predator. They are masters of camouflage, using it to ambush their prey together with their quick and precise reflexes. Their naked eye can see impossible quick movements
8. CRANE

Instead of using his beaks, he displays a graceful, fluid, and balanced fighting style. Just like what Crane does to fight, cranes are good fighters. They can use their wings to defend themselves. They batter, kick and peck their enemies that the zookeepers have to use riot shields to protect themselves.
