Welcome to the fluffy and crazy world of the red pandas from the Carl Dick Collection

Here you will find cuddly toys so sweet that even the toughest hearts will melt. The red pandas, also known as lesser pandas, are not only a visual highlight but also a real eye-catcher as a plush toy. These stuffed animals combine the best of both worlds: the cuddly tenderness of a teddy bear and the exotic beauty of a wild animal.

Impressive Features of Red Pandas
Did you know that red pandas, also known as lesser pandas, are real acrobats? With their sharp claws and long, bushy tails that serve as a balance aid, they climb effortlessly through treetops. Their bright red fur and distinctive faces make them a unique sight. Despite their name, red pandas have nothing to do with real bears – they belong to the family Ailuridae and are more closely related to raccoons. These little creatures can evoke both curiosity and affection with just one glance.

The Life of Red Pandas in China
In the dense forests of China, high up in the Himalayan regions, the red panda lives a life full of adventure. These nocturnal creatures spend their days sleeping in tree hollows and wake at dusk to forage for food. Bamboo is at the top of their diet, but they are not averse to nibbling on the occasional berry or small bird. In the wild, they are shy and reclusive, but in zoos around the world, they captivate hundreds of visitors daily.

Absurd Facts About Red Pandas
Now it gets really quirky: Did you know that red pandas have more in common with pizza than with pasta? Studies show that they have a better taste for sweets than for salty foods, similar to humans who prefer sweet treats over savoury dishes. They also have “false thumbs” – an extension of the wrist bone that helps them grasp bamboo. And here's where it gets even stranger: red pandas mark their territory with a musky secretion from special glands on their feet. Yes, their paws are actually scent glands.

Did You Know...?
...that red pandas are not born red, but grey and only develop their characteristic colour over time?
