Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Fun and interesting red panda facts
They were given the name ‘panda’ first; roughly fifty years before the black and white variety.
They have a false thumb (an extended wrist bone) which has developed over time to help them climb trees and eat bamboo.
They’re vegetarian carnivores. Wait! What? Yep, its true. That is because the word ‘carnivore’ doesn’t necessarily imply a meat-eater but can refer to their biological order. As they’re descended from carnivorous ancestors but rarely eat anything more than bamboo and a few insects they are classed as vegetarian carnivores. Go figure?!
Truly an animal of the cyber generation they have a web browser named after them and they tweet! The browser is Firefox (that’s a red panda in the logo) and they actually ‘tweet’ from their mouths. The sound they make is called ‘twittering’…but no 280 character limit here!
