Schleich Red Panda

The red Panda is a small, endangered animal native to the Eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. Just like the Schleich Red Panda figurine, The animal is a deep reddish brown color with White markings on its face and lighter rings on its bushy tail. Its short, black legs cause the red Panda to have a waddling gait. Despite its name, The red Panda is actually not in the same family as pandas -- in fact, the scientific animal family name for the Red Panda is ailurus. Also unlike giant pandas, red pandas are only about the size of a domestic cat! They are very tough to spot in the wild because they are so small and typically only wander at night, but now you can learn about them with the realistically detailed Schleich red Panda!
