STANDALONE Photo. A Red Panda enjoys some Bamboo leaves in the cold weather at Dublin Zoo. Because they live in such a cold climate Red Pandas have thick dense fur to keep them warm. They even have fur on the soles of their feet which also stops them slipping when they are climbing wet branches. Red Pandas eat mostly vegetation although they will eat eggs. Bamboo leaves are the Red Pandas main food and are grasped in the panda's front paw. They put the leaves into the side of the mouth where the teeth cut through the leaves. Red Pandas are mostly active during the early morning and the early evening and spend the rest of their time asleep up trees. Red pandas are threatened by human activities. Their forest homes are being cut down, as is the bamboo that they feed on. They used to be hunted by local people for their skins.
