Although it shares the name “panda,” the red panda is a completely different animal from the giant panda!
Like pandas, it loves bamboo the most, but it also eats fruits, bird eggs, and leaves from time to time.
The third Saturday of September is celebrated as “World Red Panda Day.”
This day was designated to raise awareness that these adorable animals are endangered,
and to encourage everyone to protect them.
That’s why the red panda is such an important species worldwide!
