Red Panda
Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens Latin: "fire-colored cat") is known as the Lesser Panda, Wah, Bear Cat or Firefox.
The species is endangered, largely because of habitat loss, though there is also some illegal hunting. Red Pandas are often killed for their coats to make fur hats and clothes. Because of the growing human population in China, Red Panda habitats are being cleared to build houses.
This and more information is from Wikipedia and from an article on Jerusalem Zoo site.
