They were formerly believed to be related to raccoons and giant pandas.
Red pandas can be found in bamboo stands and mountainous regions of China, Myanmar, Nepal, and India.
Their long, velvety coat fur is rusty red and dark chestnut in hue.
They have a white face and ears, and the backs of their ears are a reddish-brown color.
Red pandas can live independently.
At night, they eat bamboo, and during the day, they sleep.
Aside from bamboo, they eat fruit, insects, and bird eggs.
