Red panda. The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also called lesser panda and red cat-bear, is a small arboreal mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China that has been classified as Vulnerable by IUCN as its wild population is estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals.
The population continues to decline and is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries.[1] The red panda is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs. It feeds mainly on bamboo, but is omnivorous and also eats eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day.

Zoo’s panda deal probed amid £4m shortfall claim - Herald Scotland. The Herald revealed earlier this month that the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) had launched a probe into the zoo after anonymous allegations over the conduct of a number of managers in March led to the sacking of one executive, the suspension and then clearing of another, and the ongoing suspension of a third.
It is now understood the regulator opened an investigation into the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs the zoo, two months before that, after receiving a complaint that relates directly to the panda exchange business funding plan. The complaint was lodged just days after the historic deal was signed between Edinburgh Zoo and China and raised questions over the viability of the 10-year loan and the conservational benefits if the plan cannot be sustained. The news comes as Donald Emslie, the then zoo chairman who signed the panda deal, resigned after a no-confidence vote. “So my first aim is to bring real stability to the zoo.
