Tasty Bamboo

The Red Panda originates from the Himalayas in India, Nepal and southern China and they inhabit forested mountain slopes. Red Pandas have characteristics of bears and raccoons and unlike other bears, their claws are partly retractable and they are remarkably agile in the trees. Red Pandas eat mainly bamboo, but also acorn, roots, berries and occasionally eggs and young birds.

Red Panda IUCN Red List Conservation status - Vulnerable
