Giant Pandas are a pretty miserable animal. They re what happens when an animal becomes too specialized.

Red Pandas on the other hand, no such specialization and therefore a lot more common.

Yeah. Their digestive system isn't even all that well adapted to digesting bamboo.

Red Pandas, IIRC, are like raccoons; let ‘em get loose in a foreign ecosystem and they'd probably become real nuisances...
