Red pandas live in Nepal, Northern Myanmar, India and Bhutan, as well as in China. They spend a lot of their time in trees and are very good at climbing. They are more active during the night than the day, and they usually look for food in the evening and early in the morning. Their favorite food is bamboo. In fact, a female red panda can eat 20,000 bamboo leaves in a day! But they also eat fruit, grass, eggs, insects and even small birds and animals. Scientists believe that the number of red pandas in the world is low because the forests where they live are getting smaller. But much is being done in countries around the world to help this amazing animal.
