THE FIRST PANDA · hands-up surprise
Hand-Painted Detail
Every scale, feather and marking is painted by hand to match the real animal — so detailed up close, so charming on the shelf.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its pose, ready to collect and show off.
When a red panda feels threatened, it rises onto its hind legs and flings its arms wide to look as big and fierce as possible. To everyone watching, it just looks adorable. Wonders of the Zoo captures exactly that moment — a startled, stand-up red panda in rich russet and black.
Big and Scary (It Thinks)
Keepers at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo describe the move: a scared or surprised red panda stands up with its forelegs in the air to look large and ferocious. To humans, it mostly looks huggable.
The Original Panda
Scientists described the red panda in 1825, more than forty years before the giant panda. The name ‘panda’ belonged to it first.
A Bamboo Specialist
Although it belongs to the meat-eating order of mammals, it lives mostly on bamboo leaves. An extended wrist bone works as a ‘false thumb’ for gripping the stalks.
Dressed for the Cold
Thick russet fur, black legs and furry-soled feet keep it warm in high mountain forests. When it sleeps, it wraps its long ringed tail around itself like a scarf.
