Red Panda
Areas in Himalayan Mountains and mountains of southwestern Asia
Temperate forests
Up to 14 years
Up to 16.5 lbs, 4 ft long
Bamboo, berries, fruit, insects, young leaves, bark
Endangered
The red pandas were once thought to be relatives of raccoons and bears but research has now put them in their own animal family Ailuridae. Red pandas are solitary and they rarely interact with another red panda outside of mating season. Breeding season is in the early winter with most births being in June. Similar to giant pandas, red pandas have a wrist bone that acts like a thumb to help them grip bamboo.
Go Wild! The Ross Park Zoo is a participant in the red panda Species Survival Plan.
