The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also called the lesser panda, the red bear-cat, and the red cat-bear, is a mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs; it is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It is arboreal, feeds mainly on bamboo, but also eats eggs, birds, and insects. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day. Order: Carnivora, Suborder: Caniformia, Family: Ailuridae, Genus: Ailurus, Species: Ailurus fulgens F. Cuvier, 1825.
Subspecies:
A. f. fulgens F. Cuvier, 1825
