OK - so this isn't a good shot - but I just loved the little look on his face .. Plus - I love these guys - they have got to be one of my favourites!! I wish I could see one in the wild ...
I was trying to come up with a more interesting title - but my creative mind had abandoned me.

Red Panda "Shining Cat" (has many other names such as Bear Cat, Fire Cat and Cloud Bear)
Ailurus fulgens
- The Red Panda is native to the Himalayas in India and Nepal and southern China
- Also known as the Wah because of its distinctive cry
- Nocturnal
- Mostly a herbivore
- Semi-retractile claws and, like the Giant Panda, has a "false thumb" which is really an extension of the wrist bone
- Thick fur on the soles of the feet offers protection from cold and hides scent glands
- They are very heat sensitive with an optimal “well-being” temperature between 17 and 25°C., and cannot tolerate temperatures over 25 °C at all (which is interesting becuase the place where I took it is quite hot and reaches a tops of 30 or more in summer ...)

Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV

I hope so. Of course, all the books say ferrets can't take temperatures above 90F, but mine survived the occasions when they were accidentally exposed to them.
