Red Pandas

Red Pandas at the zoo. I don't think I've ever seen one, so let's all go! I have trouble reconciling the name and the fact that they look nothing like Giant Pandas. But they're kind of related. Remember Kingdom Phylum Genus? Then here's a treat for you -

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Procyonidae
Genus: Ailurus
Species: Fulgens
