The red panda is an endangered species, also known as a lesser panda, Firefox or red cat-bear. It is a small arboreal mammal native to the mountains of Asia.
It has been previously placed in the raccoon and bear families, and is not closely related to the better-known giant panda. But it is technically a panda.
And a cute one whose natural enemies include small pumpkins.
Just kidding about the pumpkin part, but once you see this video of a red panda trying to wrestle one at the Maruyama Zoo in Sapporo, Japan, you’ll understand.
