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.

Crotalus atrox
A new rattle segment is added each time they shed.
Mice, rats, rabbits — small warm snacks of the desert.
Who do YOU think wins?

A desert alarm clock with a noisy tail.
