Has anyone ever seen how cute a Red Panda is?

The Red Panda - The Red Panda

I have fallen in love with the cutest looking animals ever, they look like teddy bears, although they do have retractable claws, (Ouch). They live off bamboo and consume around 200.000 bamboo leaves daily,. A red panda is thought to be closely related to the giant panda and the racoon family. They are also an endangered species. Have you ever come across any other endangered species you would like to share with us? What are your opinions on the red panda?

He is sooooooo gorgeous! I saw one one time on my travels around England. I'm not sure whether it was at Bourton-on-the-Water or The Cotswolds Wildlife Park. They are so cute. They look cuddly, don't they, but I don't think I would risk it! lol

I am so glad you enjoyed looking at him, I think they look so sweet. I never realised that we have wildlife parks here in the UK, I think I will be visiting some this summer, We used to have Windsor safari park but they shut that down years ago, I do not think that there is many near London. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my discussion. :)

I read that they can retract their claws, I would not want a swipe from them. LOL They do look very cute though, they remined me a bit of gizmo from gremlins. I am glad you enjoyed looking at the red panda.

They are adorable I want one. How do I go about getting one? I wonder if they bite I guess they do. I have never seen anything like that before. Thanks for sharing.

I think the same as you, they really are so cute, My husband says no way I am having one. LOL It is such a shame that they are an endangered species, I have uploaded another picture to share with you, I hope you like it, I was unsure about posting about anything like this but I wanted to share what I had found out about red pandas and I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your response.:)

Oh the red panda looks so cute. I love Pandas and hadn't seen a red one till I saw the pic you've put up. It's a pity they are an endangered species! Recently we went to a wildlife reserve called Fossil Rim. It had different animals roaming around which could be fed from the car. We also saw the Rhino which is a fast disappearing species. So many species are endangered and it is a sad thing.

I am glad you enjoyed the red panta he is quite a cute looking animal. I have never been to a wildlife reserve, I am not sure if we even have them in the UK, but I would love to. I would love the animals roaming around in their habitat. It is a shame there are so many endangered species.
