I love red pandas. They are my favourite wild animal (my favourite animal in general are dogs) and just seeing a picture of them puts a smile on my face.
I think the first (and only) time I’ve seen a red panda in real life was at Central Park Zoo in New York. They looked so cute snoozing in the trees and I instantly fell in love. They are such weird creatures when you think about it. They are very distantly related to the giant panda and while it’s stiped tail is a bit like a racoon it’s not really related to them either. I love it when animals, or nature in general, doesn’t really fit in the boxes we humans try and put it in.
I think red pandas are some of the most chill animals around yet they still get over excited or super surprised by little things – there’s the video of a red panda in Japan seemingly showing off to a rock which is adorable. I think that’s one of the things I like about them so much, they are a very gif-able animal – in fact there’s a Buzzfeed article of “The 27 Best Red Panda GIFs Of All Time” if you ever need something to make you smile.
Fun Fact: I had to get a cuddly red panda from the shop at Central Park Zoo because I’m a big kid and I named it Boris after the nice taxi driver we had that day.

So cute! Boris is an excellent name for a red panda plushie. 😀
Thanks! Well you gotta name them or else they’ll feel unloved 😀
Like you the first time I saw a red panda was at a zoo – in Detroit. A beautiful animal indeed.

See that’s why (on the whole) I can’t be against zoos, they allow people to see creatures they never normally would and do some great work in conservation and education.
The video of the Red Panda and the rock made me smile. I didn’t realize the Red Panda is so adorable.Now I have a new favorite animal!

I haven’t seen them in person, in fact, I didn’t even know they existed. it looks like a fox, from the photo, very cuddly fox
have a lovely day.
Yeah they’re like a mis between a fox and a raccoon by 10 times cuter 😛
Hope you have a great day too!
He sure is a cutie! But I’m told that it’s often the cute ones that are quite vicious. Boris is a great name!

Oh yes, sometimes cuteness hides a quick temper, I suppose their cuteness could be a defence mechanism to lull predators into a false sense of security.
I didn’t know red pandas existed. They’re adorable!
I’ve never seen a red panda before. But that picture looks soooooo cute.
Yay! I love to spread the Red Panda love 🙂
Oh, I love Red Pandas! They are so unique. And adorable.

I love red pandas! I saw one at a zoo once and fell in love =) Thanks for visiting my blog!
They’re an easy creature to fall in love with 😀
No problemo 🙂
Elena,
The first time I saw a red panda is at our local zoo, too. They are interestingly cute animals that make you want to cuddle them but I bet they won’t have any of that, though. 🙂 It’s good thing you just got the stuffed animal in the gift shop. 🙂
