Red pandas have a little bone sticking out of their wrists: a 'false thumb' that helps them grip bamboo as they pull it down to feed.

One of s ' best defences against large predators like leopards is that they can escape to the thinnest tree branches and vines, where those chasing them could never hope to follow.

Red pandas have semi-retractable claws, super flexible joints, and a long bushy tail for balance, enabling them to stroll down tree-trunks headfirst, and jump between branches with ease.

Turtle doves are not named after turtles - the word is derived from their Latin name 'turtur', which is onomatopoeic, based on the sound they make.

Red pandas thrive in their Himalayan habitat with thick fur and fluffy ears, enabling them to survive above the snow-line where monsoons drench the cloud-forest environment.
