The red panda (Ailurus fulgens, or shining cat), is a small arboreal mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and northern Nepal.[2] It is the only species of the genus Ailurus.
It has been previously classified in the families Procyonidae (raccoons) and Ursidae (bears), but recent research has placed it in its own family Ailuridae, in superfamily Musteloidea along with Mustelidae, Procyonidae, and Mephitidae. Two subspecies are recognized.
