The red Panda is of a different species, but shares much of the habitat, of the giant panda. Aicha got the word on the other species of panda.

I think that both the Red Panda and the Giant Panda  share the characteristics of bears  and raccoons. The Giant more bear and the Red more raccoon. Going back some 10 million years or so they probably share a common ancestor. There are also two living sub-species of red pandas. The Western Red and the Styan's red.
