This is really old and the art on it isn't that great but I am uploading it here because you have no clue how many times a day when I am looking at art of red pandas on FA that I see them drawn completely inaccurately (with dog/cat like anatomy.) So I figured I needed to continue to spread DA FACTS around or whatever.

Some Quick Facts:
-Red Pandas are PLANTIGRADE not digitigrade. They walk on their entire bottoms of their feet like people or bears.
-Red Pandas don't have flat looking cat noses or noses like a giant panda, they're closer to a weasel, raccoon, or a dog for that matter!
-They have sharp semi-retractable claws.
-Red Pandas do not have paw pads, instead they have very rough fur which is usually lighter in color.
-Red pandas have 5 toes on each foot and front paw.
-They have short little muzzles.
-Their ears are low on their heads, set more to the sides than a dog or cat (Manda's ears are extra huge and upright which is intentionally inaccurate; as are her giant poofy lynx cheeks. She isn't a normal red panda, she is a magical "firefox!" lol.)
-They do indeed eat bamboo but can eat other things just like the Giant Panda.
-They don't live in Japan! They are from Nepal & China. (I don't know why I see people say this so much.)
-They were discovered before the Giant Panda so they are the "true" panda which is why the Giant Panda has the word "Giant" in front of it anyway!
-They make twittering, chuckling, "wah", and whistling noises.
-There is two subspecies of red panda and they have varying coat patterns.
-THEY ARE ENDANGERED.

Also if you love them as much as I do you should donate to help them here: http://redpandanetwork.org/
