The adorably cute red panda
Now an endangered species
The adorably cute red panda, also known as cat
bear and lesser panda, is largely herbivore and
an endangered species. Thick fur on the soles
offer protection from cold. The pelage is reddish
orange on the body with a long bushy tail. They
are found in the Himalayan region, in parts of
Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and in the Indian states
of Sikkim, West Bengal, Meghalaya and Arunachal
Pradesh
