The red panda gets its name from its color. He is not related to the black and white giant panda. In addition to bamboo, it eats fruits, flowers, leaves, eggs and young birds.
Like a bear, the red panda walks with its front paws turned inward. Its broad legs have partially retractable claws and hairy soles so it has more grip on slippery rocks and logs.
