The red panda is a small mammal that can be natively found in the Eastern Himalayas and south-western China. It is slightly larger in size than a domestic cat, with thick reddish-brown fur and a bear-like body. There are white markings on the sides of its head and above its eyes similar to a raccoon, and their belly and limbs are black. Red pandas are very acrobatic and are often found in trees. Their long, bushy tails are used for balance and to cover themselves in winter for warmth. They are primarily herbivores and feed off of bamboo, however they have been observed to also eat birds, bugs, berries, and other small mammals. Due to their low-calorie diets, they primarily spend their day eating and sleeping.
