Red pandas favor remote, high altitude bamboo forests.
The red panda is crepuscular which means that it is active at dawn and dusk. It is hard to know for sure how many red pandas are left in the wild, because the bamboo forests where they live are very dense. This makes it difficult for an accurate count to be made of this beautiful creature. More red pandas have been born at the Knoxville Zoo than at any other zoo in the Western Hemisphere. Only one zoo in Rotterdam, Netherlands has had more panda cubs born than the Knoxville Zoo.
