I saw this beautiful creature on a program about Everest, on Chanel 5 last night.
Would I be right, in thinking that it is more closely related to the raccoon ?
Rowan - thank you for the correction. I had confirmed that the red panda was of the Ailuridae family. What I meant to say in the next post was that it is the "Giant" Panda that is a member of Ursidae. Apologies for the omission/confusion.
