Red panda with extraordinary skills
Besides the five toes on the forefoot, a red panda also has a “pseudo-thumb” on it which can be used as the 6th toe to grasp things. The soles of a red panda are covered with hair, which prevent it from falling down when climbing trees.
Usage of its long tail
A red panda has body length of about 60cm and a fluffy and powerful tail of about 50cm. While sleeping, a red panda rolls itself tightly into a ball and puts the tail around its neck to protect against coldness. The tail also helps it to keep balance while climbing.
