Himalayan Red Panda

The Himalayan red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is a small, tree-dwelling mammal native to the high-altitude forests of the Himalayas. Its vibrant reddish-brown fur and bushy tail make it one of the most charming creatures in the wild.

Despite being solitary and elusive, red pandas play a vital role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers. Their diet consists mostly of bamboo, but they also consume berries, fruits, and insects. Listed as endangered due to habitat loss, climate change, and poaching, red pandas are a conservation priority in the regions they inhabit.
