Red Panda


Well this little animal beside of being cute, it`s the only species on his gender Ailurus and  also the only one on it's family Ailuridae. As it's name says his fur is mostly red and had a long tail very furry too and his face has a similarity with raccoons faces. As his "cousin" the giant Panda, there exist a huge discussion about where does he belongs, on taxonomic therms, if with raccoons or with bears. 

It's likely to find him very active at midnight or at dawn, but when the sun starts to apear they become in one of the laciest animals in the whole world, sleeping on tree branches or in tree holes like an squirrel. They are very lonely, actually it's hard to find them together except at their mating period.

Sadly they are in danger of extinction because of the furtive hunting because of his beautiful fur. They are also called Fire fox since that the logo of the search engine Firefox. They teeth are strong enough to cut the bambú but actually his digestive system isn't prepare to acquire all the nutrients from it, so in the winter where he can't feed by insects he lost almos 15% of his weight. 

That's the sad life of our friend the Red Panda. :(
