Red Panda Network launched International Red Panda Day to share the story of this forest-dwelling mammal and support its conservation. Look for it on the third Saturday in September.
Red pandas eat a great deal of bamboo, and an enlarged wrist bone acts like a thumb to help them grip it. Their bushy tails help them balance on branches and can double as a wrap when they curl up to rest. In a video, watch how neatly a red panda holds a stem while it eats.
