Thanks Palter.
It has the face of a giant panda bear and the body of a small raccoon. This unusual, cuddly-looking animal is the red panda, and until recently, was only believed to be native to the mountains of Nepal, Burma and China. Now, according to recent fossil findings, it appears the enigmatic red cousin to the black-and-white panda once roamed the long-ago forests of Tennessee.
Years ago William Corliss had an item in Science Frontiers regarding how the Great Panda is a form of bear, while the Lesser Panda is a relative of the raccoon. Couldn't find it on the SF website though.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
