Red Panda

[John Holland]

The Giant Panda gets all the press and publicity, and the poor Red Panda is rarely mentioned. It is much smaller than its better known cousin - it is about the size of a fox.

And a damned handsome fellow too. Much more alert-looking as well.

Nice to give the poor cousin some limelight! They are very photogenic in their own right. Well captured John.

The panda is so cute I liked the shot!

Thank you Pete, Milan, and Roshni for your comments.

Nice ones John, but they are not endangered are they?

 

[John Holland]

I believe so, Ivar. These were photographed at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Center (Chengdu, China).
