I just want to wish you all a great day! I have some things to do today so I'll try to catch up with you all later. Hugs!
We were so lucky to see the Pandas moving about on a very warm & humid day in DC. This made the 2 hour drive worth it!
Sometimes the simple pictures seem so easy but I have waited many hours by Red Pandas just in the hope they would wake up and move..... At last!
The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also called the lesser panda, the red bear-cat, and the red cat-bear, is a mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and south-western China. It has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs; it is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It is arboreal, feeds mainly on bamboo, but also eats eggs, birds, and insects. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day.
The red panda has been classified as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature because its wild population is estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries.
Seen here at Wingham Wildlife Park, Kent.

It was busy climbing up and down the tree branches, I had to patiently wait for a snap that would show at least its face or eyes.
I was so glad it stopped momentarily, pause for 2 seconds and looked at me, and rewarded me with a cute and adorable smile!!!
They are much more related to weasel, raccoon and skunk families is part of the superfamily Musteloidea. Eventhough named as red panda, which is a misnomer, they are not closely related to the giant panda.
