Red Pandas'

Appearance
Red pandas have furry, round heads and short snouts with pointed ears. Their coats are a maroon-ish color, although their faces are mostly white with reddish 'tear tracks' extending from their eyes to the corner of their mouths.

Behavior
Red pandas are territorial except during the mating season. They spend the day sleeping in trees and using the night to mark territory with urine and musk and to find food.

History
The Red panda's scientific name is Ailurus Fulgen. These cute creatures are omnivores, and their conservation status is currently endangered.

Other Facts
Red pandas tend to live up to 23 years. They begin to grow from ages 12-14. Because of the growing human population in China, Red Panda habitats are being destroyed to build houses.
