Red pandas, they've broken the internet countless times with their outrageous cuteness and silly personalities. They're probably the closest thing we have to Pokemon and we want to catch 'em all. But, there are many things about red pandas we're sure you didn't know, and we're here to tell you! Here at Animal Comedy we are not just about making you laugh and go "awwwwww", but also to spread some education in a fun and adorable way.

This squeal-worthy list is full of red pandas that you'll just want to squeeze until you can't squeeze anymore. They're so cute that we actually have to put a warning in this description: Warning, the following red pandas are so cute you will want to go to your nearest zoo and steal one for yourself. Animal Comedy does not advise this and takes no responsibility for any following red panda thefts. Thank you.

Are you ready for fact #2? This one is great to tell at a party when there's an awkward silence. Red pandas put their hands up when they feel provoked as a defense mechanism. They attempt to make themselves bigger and more scary. Honestly, it just makes us want to hug them even more!

We had a secret handshake just like this when we were kids. Fist bump, hands up, double backflip, side roll, behind the back high five, three spins, headbutt, run away like nothing happened. Didn't you?

Fact #4: The red panda is not actually a panda. It's believed that its name is derived from the Nepalese words "nigalya ponya," meaning "bamboo eater."
