ROBUSTLY ADORABLE RED PANDAS

The Chengdu research base houses and breeds Red Pandas too (also known as red cat-bears or lesser pandas โ€” they arenโ€™t closely related to the Giant panda). Red pandas are an oddity among mammals: they have raccoon-like long, fluffy striped tails, big panda-like features and appetites, but they clean themselves like cats. They are not raccoons, bears, or cats, but rather the only living species in its own genus (Ailuridae, a misnomer for 'cat' in ancient Greek).

Thereโ€™s less than 10,000 of these gorgeous bears left in the wild. ๐ŸŽ‹๐Ÿ’•โ˜บ๏ธ .

I purchased my ticket through Trip.com and it was such an easy transaction. I just scanned the QR code before entering the park and no need to queue. That gave me a lot of time to enjoy and wander around the park! Thanks Trip! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’•
