One Pretty Baby
I really do love all of the animals at the zoo, but there is just something so sweet about the Red Panda.
For one thing, every time I see one at the zoo, it is alone. His solitary existence just seems to tug at my heart. It is so pretty that I always want to just reach in and grab that little cutie and give it a hug.
Red Pandas
The beautiful Red Panda lives, eats and sleeps up in a tree. When it is cold, it will wrap itself with its gorgeous furry, ringed tail to keep warm. The Red Panda sleeps mostly during the day and forages for food at night. They eat fruit, berries, acorns, eggs. mushrooms and bamboo.
Because of his lovely red hair, he has also been named a Firefox and because he resembles a domestic cat, he has been called a Bear Cat and even Red Cat. Ironically, the Red Panda is not a bear, it is not a cat and it is not a fox. It is in fact in a family of its own. It is a Ailuride, part of the Musteloidea superfamily which includes the skunk, weasel and raccoon.
This endangered animal is still illegally hunted for his fur and even for his tail, which is considered a good luck charm.
