Red Pandas

Making a poster is a creative way to show your knowledge and fun time to combine some art with education. A presentation is another way to boost your confidence and show your skills. So we decided to add this tool to our homeschooling box of fun.

In last two days we learned about Red Pandas and their habitat.
Did you know that Red pandas are NOT pandas at all?  Did you know that they climb down the trees mainly to go to the loo? Or that they have a false thumb?

This resource from National Geographic Kids is a great start to learn about these extraordinary animals. People used to call them Firefox or Cat-bears which is not  far from the truth. Although Red pandas are their own family in animal world they have some similarities with pandas, foxes and cats. But putting bears in the same basket will be the same as saying that Koalas are Bears ;-)
