Red Panda
Ailurus fulgens
Red pandas are mostly crepuscular — dawn and dusk are their prime time.
Mostly bamboo, plus fruit, eggs, and insects when the salad bar is closed.
Hippo
Hippopotamus amphibius
Hippo sweat looks reddish. People called it blood-sweat. It is really a natural sunscreen.
Hippos graze grass at night. By day they soak and... argue.
Who do YOU think wins?

Hippo
A floating boulder with kitchen-knife tusks.
