WHEN I LOOK UP FROM MY PILLOW
I DREAM YOU ARE THERE WITH ME
THOUGH YOU ARE FAR AWAY
I KNOW YOU'LL ALWAYS BE NEAR TO ME

I GO TO SLEEP, SLEEP
AND IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE THERE WITH ME
I GO TO SLEEP, SLEEP
AND IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE THERE WITH ME
(Lyrics the Pretenders)

The red panda is most active in the early morning and late afternoon spending most of the day resting in trees conserving their energy as their bamboo diet has a low energy content.
Red pandas are normally solitary creatures but form pairs in the breeding season.
Although classed as a carnivore, red pandas eat mainly bamboo shoots, grass and fruit with the occasional egg, insect or small animal.
After 3 months gestation up to three young are born into a nest made of twigs and grass. Newborn cubs are covered in thick grey fur and their eyes and ears are closed. The cubs will emerge from the nest at about 3 months of age but stay with their mother until the next breeding season starts.
In captivity red pandas can live up to 14 years but it is not known how long they live in the wild.

Very nice! I like your DOF and of course the moment is priceless. I wouldn't even know it was a panda, or if he's sleeping or drugged.

Great capture and very funny note. Excellent POV and sharpness.

TFS,
Alli
