Fun facts
Fan favourite
Dublin Zoo asked it's visitors which animal was their favourite and guess who came up on top? Red pandas!
Head first
Red pandas are one of the few animals on earth that can descend from heights head-first!
Shedding pounds
Over the winter, red pandas can lose up to 15% of body weight.
Keeping warm
Red pandas use their big bushy ringed tails as a wraparound blanket in chilly mountain heights.
Extra grip
They have an extended wrist bone that functions almost like a thumb and greatly aids their grip.
