Altitude climbers

Red Pandas, also known as Red Cat-Bears, are crepuscular and nocturnal animals. The solitary creatures are great climbers and can reach altitudes of up to 4,000 meters in mountain forests.

Energy saver

In addition to roots, berries, insects and small animals, Red Pandas also eat bamboo, which is a type of grass. The little panda bear’s digestive tract cannot keep up with this. Therefore, after eating lots they rest for long periods to save their energy.
