Red
Pandas, also known as Lesser Pandas, are not as well known as the larger, black
and white, Giant Panda although they share similar habitat and habits. At only
10-15 pounds Red Pandas are agile climbers and spend much of the time in treetops.
Red Pandas are part of the Species Survival Plan and are bred in captivity to
help ensure the future of the species. Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke, VA has had
several successful births of panda cubs. *
