The red panda has been classified as Vulnerable by IUCN because its population is estimated at fewer than 10, 000 mature individuals.

The red panda has been previously classified in the families Procyonidae ( raccoons ) and Ursidae ( bears ), but recent research has placed it in its own family Ailuridae, in superfamily Musteloidea along with Mustelidae and Procyonidae.

The red panda is specialized as a bamboo feeder with strong, curved and sharp semi-retractile claws standing inward for grasping of narrow tree branches, leaves and fruit.

When descending a tree headfirst, the red panda rotates its ankle to control its descent, one of the few climbing species to do so.

The red panda is endemic to the temperate forests of the Himalayas, and ranges from the foothills of western Nepal to China in the east.

The distribution range of the red panda should be considered disjunct, rather than continuous.

The red panda lives between altitude, inhabiting areas of moderate temperature between with little annual change.

The red panda has become extirpated from the Chinese provinces of Guizhou, Gansu, Shaanxi and Qinghai.

Thus Burns's `` My love is like a red, red rose '' and Hopkins' `` The thunder-purple sea-beach, plumed purple of Thunder '' although clearly intelligible in content, hardly present ideas of the sort with which we are here concerned.

Leila ( Malia Phillips ), 25, is a Greenwich Village painter of Persianesque miniatures who has red hair that cascades almost to her ankles.

The video signal is amplified and then switched, in synchronism with the three ultraviolet light sources which are sequenced by the rotating mirror so that during one-twentieth of a second only one wavelength, corresponding to red, green, or blue, is seen.

Now the thing for us to do is to find ourselves a couple of those wonderful flowering currants such as the red Ribes sanguineum of our Pacific Northwest, or otherwise a good sloe tree, or perhaps some nice pussy willow in bloom, preferably one with male or staminate catkins.

Almost equal in size to a honeybee, A. armata is much more beautiful in color, at least in the female of the species: a rich, velvety, rusty red.

This is especially true of red wines, and a practice which, though not always practicable, is well worth the effort.

In this way, red wine warms of itself quite rapidly -- and though it is true that it may not attain its potential of taste and fragrance until after the middle of the meal ( or the course ), in the meantime it will have run the gamut of many beguiling and interesting stages.

This does not mean, though, that a red wine improves with prolonged aeration: there is a reasonable limit -- and wines kept over to the next meal or the next day, after they have once been opened, are never as good.

very old red wine is often decanted so that the puckering, bitter elements which have settled to the bottom will not be mingled with the wine itself.

Though there are many exceptions, which we have noted in preceding pages, white wine is as a rule best consumed between two and six years old, and red wines, nowadays, between three and ten.
