Red Panda |
||
 |
Red pandas come from forests in the Himalayan mountains. They are superb climbers. Their beautiful thick, red fur keeps them warm in extremely cold surroundings |

|
Scientists argue over whether red pandas are more closely related to giant pandas or raccoons. They certainly look more like raccoons. | |
|
A specially enlarged bone in the panda's wrist acts like an extra thumb to help with climbing. | |
