Are YOU a Red Panda?

Did you know that red pandas aren’t actually pandas? They belong to a whole different family, called Mustelidae, which includes weasels, otters, badgers, raccoons, coatis, and skunks!

Just like members of every family, our mustelid pals have different personalities and hobbies, but which one are you most like? For today’s Eco-Activity, take the quiz and find out whether you’re a raccoon, red panda, sea otter or a wolverine.

Become a Red Panda

Red pandas are awesomely adorable. They weigh about the same as a medium-sized dog, and spend most of their time in trees. Their long fluffy tails keep them balanced as they walk from branch to branch, and act like a warm cozy blanket when they’re chilly. 

Wouldn’t it be cool to be a red panda? While we can’t turn into one like Mei Lee from Turning Red, we can certainly dress up like one! For today’s Eco-Activity, become a red panda by making your own red panda mask! 

Click here to download the template!

Instructions:

1. Colour in your red panda mask. Use the picture above to help guide you.

2. Use scissors to cut along the dotted lines. Make holes in the circles on either side of the mask.

3. Put the ends of your string through the holes and tie a knot. This will make a band that goes around your head and holds the mask in place.

4. Put on your mask and become a red panda!

We want to see your red panda mask! Share it with us on social media or send a photo to

Lazy like a Red Panda

Red pandas are one of only a few animals that eat mostly bamboo. Because this plant doesn’t offer much in the way of nutrition, red pandas spend a lot of their time sleeping! 

Where would your ideal red panda nap spot be?
