Episode 165: The Firefox, aka, The Red Panda

Once called the lesser panda, cat-bear, bear-cat, Himalayan raccoon, fox bear or firefox, this week we discuss everything Red Panda. These have to be one of the most adorable carnivores around. Much similar to the Giant Panda, Red Pandas have the bodies of meat eaters but survive on a diet of bamboo. Sadly, Red Pandas are classified as Endangered with possibly as little as 2500 animals left. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast and give back to conservation.
