Red Pandas

Pandas are a big white and black giant, but there is a related panda that is like them. It is the Red panda! They actually have nothing alike but they have the same names somehow.  They are like the Pandas but not as big and not white and black. They are a reddish color and use their ringtails for many things. A red panda is a mammal and mostly spends its time in trees. 

Red Pandas can stay up at night and at dusk/dawn. They spend most of there time in trees and usually sleep up there too. They rarely come down to the soil because they have everything they need up in the trees. If it ever gets chilly at night the Red Pandas can wrap themselves to keep themselves warm.   When they wake up from their sleep they lick themselves just like cats but it is different. They lick their front paws and then use them to wipe down their fur. Like what most animals like Red Pandas like to sunbathe in the sun and relax.

Red pandas are 20-26 inches long and their tail gives about 10-20 inches to their length. They weigh 10-20 pounds. They have a large round head and a small snout with pointed ears. Most of their coats are reddish-brown and their face is white with a few red tracks on their faces. Their tails are very bushy and alternate red and white rings. When Red Pandas climb trees, their tail helps them maintain balance when they walk or climb. As they are climbing they have sharp claws to help them climb to the highest branches to stay away from predators. The sun is their most favorite part of their day because they love to sunbathe in it and to sleep.
