The Red Panda
The Red Panda is a fabulous, fuzzy fireball of fluff that looks like a raccoon and a bear rolled into one. With auburn fur and a shaggy tail, this adorable creature has white ears, cheeks, and spots above their eyes. Usually the size of a house cat, these critters prefer to be active during the dawn and dusk. Not only do they have sharp claws for climbing trees, but they also have a "false thumb," which is an extended wrist bone they use to hold onto branches.
