Red Panda


You had to know this was coming. Ha! Another awesome animal with the moniker of "panda" although this one is no more a bear than the panda is a racoon.

Red pandas, which resemble raccoons, are about 42 inches long, including a long, bushy tail. They weigh between seven and 14 pounds. Their red-and-white markings blend in with the red mosses and white lichens that grow on the trees in which they live. Their soft, dense fur covers their entire body—even the soles of their feet. Red pandas use their long, bushy tails to balance when they're in trees. They also cover themselves with their tails in winter. ~ source National Zoo 





Also I would like to bring to your attention the addition of a new feature to this blog, "Helping Hands" page, This page will house all the donation, adoption and all helping sites, institutions, companies and charity causes to help animals, people and the environment. After all, everyone and everything is connected. Go check it out now! HELPING HANDS

Help all and you help yourself. So please help yourself in helping all. ;-)
