No More Sorry

I haven’t been making any tumblr posts recently. I’m trying to save you all from reading mushy crap about being in love because I am acutely aware that no one wants to read platitudes about how happy some simpering, priggish schmuck is.

So let’s just talk about Red Pandas!

It was International Red Panda Day five days ago and I was a little sad to learn that the San Francisco Zoo did not house a single red panda. NOT A ONE. Oh, well. Ailurus fulgens is a tree-dwelling mammal that you can find in the temperate forests of the Himilayas. There has been controversy on that classification of Red Pandas since their discovery but thanks to recent molecular-systematic DNA, they have been given their own category, Ailuridae, that is placed under the superfamily of Musteloidea which includes racoons, skunks and weasels.

Red pandas are nocturnal and/or crepescular. They spend most of their days sleeping or lazing about in trees. The cutest position is when they dangle their limbs when it’s too hot to curl up against a tree branch or hollow.
