Red Pandas frequently spend most of their day asleep high up in trees. Red Pandas possibly belong to the racoon family whereas Giant Pandas belong to the bear family.
These pictures were taken at either Marwell Zoological Park, Colden Common, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 1JH, England. or at Whipsnade Zoo near Luton Bedfordshire, UK.
The Red Panda is an endangered species due to the destruction of their habitat. Their diet includes bamboo which at times flowers and dies leaving a food shortage. Marwell and other zoos in the UK are part of global and European breeding programmes.
