10. Himalayas
Also called the red panda.

They're actually a cousin of raccoons, however. Great Pandas were thought to be raccoon cousins as well, but now genetic testing has shown that Great Pandas are, in fact, bears after all.

11. Thanks for the info lp! It must be a fairly
rugged creature to survive in that area. I see the resemblance to the raccoon, had one as a kid.

9. It's all in how the language is framed. The giant panda obviously hired
the Cato Institute to do its branding.

The lesser panda was probably a DYI-er, and the results are obivous.
