Description: The red panda's fur is long, thick and fuzzy to protect it against rain and cold and its colour perhaps helps the panda to blend with the reddish moss and white lichen growing on the fir trees of its mountainous habitat at up to 5000 m altitude. These pandas have fur on the soles of their feet to aid grip on wet branches and to keep them warm when walking on snow. They are 50 -60 cm long and weigh between 3 and 6 kg.
Lifestyle: They are excellent climbers, using their strong claws to grasp branches. The jaws are powerful and the teeth and forelimbs are specially adapted for manipulating and crushing bamboo shoots and leaves, which make up 95% of their diet. Red pandas are nocturnal, spending most of their day asleep in trees. As their bamboo diet is low in nutrition, sleeping for much of the day may help save energy.
Family & friends: Adult red pandas are essentially solitary, only coming together to mate.
Keeping in touch: Red pandas have glands located near their a**s that produce a musky scent which may be used in scent-marking territories. They can also make a series of hisses and snorts when startled.
Growing up: The female usually gives birth to twins and they are weaned at 4 -5 months. When suckling the cubs she must eat three times the normal amount of bamboo in order to produce rich milk. The cubs stay with the mother for roughly a year.
