The opened up Red Panda Village almost 3 yrs ago at the Knoxville Zoo and it is one of our favorites (next to the river otters)! :) They have 6 adult red pandas and they are adorable and so much fun to watch. It's really neat to know they roamed the TN forests.

Red Pandas are not directly related to the B & W pandas. I don't know why the called them cousins. Even later in the article they point out the lack of relation.

Go, FIREFOX! (Yes, the Firefox mascot is a red panda, not a red fox.)

Red pandas are actually their own species. Seriously. I freaking love these animals.

Oh damn, never knew about Tanuki before since the Tanooki Suit. Web results are pretty different with the different spellings.

There used to be more, but this one escaped and they think it is a fossil.

You know why UTK's color is orange? So that you can go to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday and work construction on Monday without changing clothes.

I find it suspicious that they lived there once and suddenly became extinct. Anyone know where Bill Gates was at the time?
