Red pandas are adorable little critters that get much less press than the larger black and white panda' bear'. They are native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. When I was a child my Mother would play a game with my brother and I that she owned as a child herself. The entire game was written in French (so my Mom had to read the cards to us) but the premise was that you were a zoo keeper and you had to get all of the animals for your zoo. One zoo was the 'baby animal zoo' and I would pick this particular zoo simply so I could collect the card that had the baby red panda (even though it was not the best zoo for winning the game). It was the cutest baby animal I had ever seen! While I have yet to see a baby red panda in real life (though have seen quite a few adults in zoos), I still love these little fellows and loved the expression on this ones face just begged to be scratched.
