About this episode

This episode explores the fascinating world of red pandas, their habitat, and their connection to giant pandas.

This month, we’re covering a mammal that’s an expert tree dweller. They share a name with the well-known white and black panda, but unbeknownst to most, they’re not closely related. And these adorable creatures are actually the reason giant pandas got their name. So grab your climbing gear and join us as we navigate the bamboo forests to talk about red pandas.
