Once known
as the Firefox, the Red Panda is the closest living relative of the giant
panda. Like its cousin, classified
as a carnivore, it has adapted to a diet almost exclusively of bamboo. It is
loved by people all over the world and is classified as ‘vulnerable’ because of
threats. There may as few as 10,000 of these beautiful creatures remaining in
the wild.
