Red panda

Range and habitat
Red pandas live in the high-altitude forests of Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. They are mainly arboreal, often living close to water sources and in densely bamboo covered areas.
Interesting info
They feed mainly on bamboo using a pseudo-thumb (a modified wrist bone), just like giant pandas. Despite several similarities, the two species are not closely related.
Slightly larger than a domestic cat, the endangered red panda has a stockier body, a large head, and thick russet fur. It can move easily from branch to branch, thanks to its semi-retractable claws and its long, bushy, ringed tail, helpful for balance. There may be fewer than 10,000 red pandas left in the wild.
