Recently I spent a day at Karlsruhe for a professional training course and had the opportunity to make a short visit to the zoo during my lunch break. When I arrived the red pandas were dozing high up in a tree but when I walked by their enclosure again before leaving the zoo, one of them had decided to come down for a bamboo meal. I love red pandas and it was quite exciting to see one of them so closely. Unfortunately I didn't have much time as my lunch break was over but I will definitely pay them another visit in the near future.
The Red Panda is native to the Himalayas in Nepal and southern China. The word panda is derived from Nepalese word "ponya" which means bamboo and plants eating animals in Nepal.

This adolescent panda was hard to photograph and so full of energy. I wish I would have gotten the whole top of his head to include his cute ears.

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also called lesser panda and red cat-bear, is a small arboreal mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and south-western China that has been classified as vulnerable by IUCN as its wild population is estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals. The population continues to decline and is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries.
The red panda is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs. It feeds mainly on bamboo, but is omnivorous and also eats eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day.
The red panda is the only living species of the genus Ailurus and the family Ailuridae. It has been previously placed in the raccoon and bear families, but results of phylogenetic research indicate strong support for its taxonomic classification in its own family Ailuridae, which along with the weasel family is part of the superfamily Musteloidea. Two subspecies are recognized. It is not closely related to the giant panda.
