red panda, lesser panda (Ailurus fulgens) THE RED PANDA. Here is an animal, found in the Himalaya region of Asia, which well deserved to be classed as a Cat-like Bear. Its clumsy appearing
body and stout limbs are Bear-like, while its short, broad face, its whisker hairs and its large, erect, pointed ears remind one of a Cat. It has a bushy tail
nearly as long as its body. It is appropriately pictured in the forest, for it lives much in trees, and feeds principally on fruits and other vegetable substances (Ailurus fulgens) (263)
