The red panda in China, due to its color and similarity in size to a fox, is called huo-hu - “fire fox” (English firefox), this phrase was used by Mozilla, calling its browser “Mozilla Firefox”. An animal of the little panda family, mainly a herbivore, slightly larger in size than a cat.

Although the red panda's range occupies a very large area and it has few natural enemies, this species is included in the International Red List with the status "Endangered". The species was classified as endangered with only 2,500 individuals remaining. The fact is that the density of animals in nature is very low, and, in addition, the habitats of the red panda can easily be destroyed.

Fortunately, the red panda breeds well in captivity. Currently, about 300 of these animals are kept in 85 zoos around the world, and the same number have been born in captivity over the past two decades.
