Red panda  (Ailurus fulgens)

Red pandas are found in the Himalayas and mountainous regions of northern Myanmar, and China in western Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces (7). The Brahmaputra River at the eastern end of the Himalayas is thought to represent a physical barrier between the two subspecies (6), with A. f. fulgens found to the west in Nepal and northeastern India and A. f. styani to the east (7).

Found in temperate montane forests at elevations between 2,200 and 4,800 metres above sea level where there is a thick bamboo understory (5).
