Red pandas are arguably some of the cutest animals on this planet, but they are not all that well known. So here is a little more info on these little lovelies a.k.a. the red cat-bears.
Found across the Eastern Himalayas and South West China, red pandas live in high altitude temperate forests. Excellent climbers, they spend most of their day snoozing up a tree. They become a little more active in late afternoon and early evening. Sensitive to temperatures, these little guys like to be warm. They also enjoy rubbing their backs and bellies on the bark of trees. Simple pleasures.
I think it's fair to say that they are not all that adept in snow...
Like their distant cousins, red pandas can't digest cellulose and so have to eat a lot of bamboo. Bamboo is not a highly nutritious plant, so red pandas conserve energy by being active for only 56% of their day. In other words...they're super lazy.
And they do NOT like being snuck up on...
With those faces and such magnificent tails, they're pretty impossible not to like, but in case you had any doubt left in your mind, here's one freaking out over a pumpkin...
