They aren't that unique, similar story with homo sapiens.

I can see a possible relationship with Ewoks, when I Look closely

Pabu!

Nah, I'm pretty sure a panda had surprise sex with a racoon.

Red Panda used Maul. Its cuteness was super effective!
vash77
How can they not be related to the common raccoon? Aka trash pandas
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
That or skunk is probably their closest relative, it's just not THAT close. Then badgers, wolverines, weasels, otters...

Red pandas are related to raccoons and skunks though not closely.
UnrustleYerJimmies
I knew they looked too much like raccoons to not be related to them!

So like homo sapiens

Please god I hope we can genetically engineer a strain that is domestic.
AmArschdieRaeuber
Just wait the normal 10k years of selective breedig. Jeez the impatience.
Cerrios
This. I would love to have one. Cute goofballs
thisusernamrwasmadebycheese
Apparently their closest relatives are raccoon which is amazing considering they originate on the other side of the world.
DraccoKnightblade
Seriously...why aren't we domesticating these!?!?!?
TheIronDragon
They are also so rare that there are more furries that identify as red pandas than there are actual red pandas
Gatzarlok
Speaking from experience, furries stick to like... a handful of steryotypes.
antras
LeraviTheHyena
Hes not wrong though red pandas are pretty popular
taterthotsfordinner
Its like a bear mixed with a cat
CrazyCatLad
I need them legal to own as domesticated pets at home please. 2020 needs it.
Muffyns
They deserve better, pets dont get good food mostly saw dust and fat
DarkWolfslc
A raccoon?
Stampedeo
Catcoon
LordofSandvich
IIRC it's most closely related to ferrets, which kinda explains some stuff.
GoToTheZoo
What? They're just skinny raccoons. Bear-cat? Have you seen either?
Wankathon
The Chinese word for these is literally "little bear cat" 小熊猫 while regular pandas are just bear cat 熊猫
DSGVO
It's called catbear in german.
njamunky
No, it's a Bearcat. F8F-1B Bearcat! The terror of the sky! Along with opposable thumbs, this mammal also packs x4 20mm cannons! And bombs!
UrsaPsi
Almost surprised it isn't called catpig
KoalaOnTheJuice
Because of course it is. Ganz logisch.
Drakhma
what about manbearpig

Cear. Pronounced "care," as in "tear" and "heir."

I do so enjoy their ferocious "behold, my terrifying might" stance they do on their hind legs.

Remember that they're way stronger than they look, on the account of doing Calisthenics 10 hours a day between tree branches

UncleBuckFutter
It's ironic that such a unique creature has to share the name "panda"
chainmaille
And they were actually renamed. They had been called "wah" like the locals did, then some English dude decided they should be pandas instead
ChloeRed
IIRC, the red panda was discovered first, hence the more famous being the giant panda.
Rugby44
Yep, in older versions of Encyclopaedia Britannica I believe the red panda is simply referred to as "panda".
UncleBuckFutter
Cool. Clearly still a misnomer if they're not related
ChloeRed
Like most things, the name has stuck around long after our knowledge about them has increased.
UncleBuckFutter
Fun!
ChloeRed
Yeap, Habbit is a very powerful force in the universe ;)
LadyKayrularya
fun fact: panda comes from a word meaning bamboo eater or something and something the red panda and giant panda have in common
TheButcherBird
They are my favorite.
scouserinexile
If you go Edinburgh zoo, you can get so close to them, you can virtually touch them
ChloeRed
When there were a pair in Birmingham, they escaped and hide in the park next to their home for a bit.
mycleverusernamewastakentwice
mycleverusernamewastakentwice
Or you could go to Paradise park in Cornwall and get in the enclosure and feed them by hand.....
Muffyns
Are they dangerous tho? Like would they maul you? They come from australia right? So whats the catch? Poison fur?
mycleverusernamewastakentwice
Nope. From Nepal mainly. Captive ones are very docile and friendly. Super cute and cool.
Muffyns
what about wild?
Miguenzo
How do you prepare them? With ketchup or bbq sauce?
Winterturtle
Not sure, but whatever you do, prepare with love
Consolidatedheadmelter
GrabherbythePuss
A lot of bbq sauces are like 60-70 percent ketchup anyways
