The Red Panda

The Red Panda

The red panda is an endangered species. These pandas typically grow to the size of a house cat, though their big, bushy tails add an additional 18 inches. The pandas use their ringed tails as wraparound blankets in the chilly, cold and scary mountains. The red panda shares the giant panda's rainy forest habitat, but has a wider range.  Red pandas live in the mountains of Nepal and northern Myanmar as well as in central China. These animals spend most of their time in trees and even sleep a lot.  They are most active at night also in the gloaming hours of dusk and dawn. These red creatures are captured and used as pets. These animals are also hunted and since they are so small they are easy prey. So help save these endangered species.
