The “original panda” is an incredibly nimble climber
Meaning “fire-colored or bright”, 19th-century French zoologist Frédéric Cuvier noted red pandas were the most beautiful animal he had ever seen when naming them. Today, there are two recognized types of red pandas: the Himalayan red panda and the Chinse [a.k.a. Styan’s] red panda. They differ in geographic range and size.
