Did you know that red pandas were discovered 50 years before the giant panda?

If ever there was an excuse to gaze adoringly at some of the planet’s cutest animals, it’s International Red Panda Day – it’s basically our collective responsibility.

Thankfully, several zoos around the world were on hand to help – look at these adorable creatures getting their nutrition on board.

Red pandas have suffered an estimated 40% decline in numbers over the last 50 years, with habitat loss, trapping and poaching all to blame.

IRPD then helps to raise awareness of this, and the red panda’s adorable nature definitely helps to spread the word.

Keep being fabulous, red pandas. You’re doing a great job.
