Red Panda
Even though the red panda looks like a raccoon and resembles a cat -- this bear is most related to the giant panda. It hides, eats and sleeps high in the treetops, using its long, bushy tail like a pillow and to keep warm. The panda's thick red fur helps it camouflage (hide) to avoid predators like snow leopards.
Red pandas eat bamboo, acorns, roots and berries.
