Hello, everyone! I’m a red panda. Although I look like a cat, I’m kind of bigger and fatter than a cat. I always wear a reddish brown jacket. I’m shy and quiet. I sleep in the daytime and look for food at night. I feed on bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots, which are also one of the main foods of giant pandas.
However, we are endangered now. There are two main reasons for this. We are losing our homes because people are cutting down forests. Besides, some people kill us for our fur. It’s cruel of them to do so.
We want to make friends with you. So please be kind to us and it is of great importance to protect us.
