A panda is a type of bear that mainly eats bamboo and resides in the Asian continent. Like an orca, they are usually white and black in their fur colors and are known as a symbol of China. However, though they are popular attractions to any zoo, they are still endangered.

One would think that a red panda would be only a variant of the normal panda, the giant panda, albeit with different shades and hues that make it appear redder, but in fact, the red panda is a type of creature that is less related to the giant panda and more closely related to raccoons, skunks, and weasels. How the so unpanda-like, in appearance at least, red panda came to be named like this, is that they were observed to have a similar amount of behaviors, like their overlapping regions and bamboo diets.
