Love the way he struts! He’s all like, “I OWN these trees!”

Wow! WOW! *ded*

OMG bebeh red panda is so prosh, I’m gettin’ teary-eyed! WANT! (Nuff disclaimer: This was not meant in a serious manner; I have no wish to hold a red panda captive. I would, however, be greatful for a stoofed animal one!)

4 Lone 05.21.08 at 6:44 pm

Im looking at the video and Im thinking thats one hot stepping panda. And then I look at the photo and its like the toddler child of the wolf man. Lots of talent in those genes.

5 Newfie Girl 05.21.08 at 6:47 pm

Aww! It looks like walking is a foreign concept to the little bebeh. :P He’s being so careful!

6 Decca 05.21.08 at 6:52 pm

That photo is the cutest Godzilla impression ever!

7 kim 05.21.08 at 7:01 pm

cutest saunter ever!!!! And then in a ‘im a scary baby panda’ pose

8 jolene 05.21.08 at 7:04 pm

I think this is the same animal! I’ve seen one with my own eyes – I thought that the information said it was a “red fox” but I could be wrong.

It looks to me like he learned to walk by seeing how they do it on South Park.

10 Sprock 05.21.08 at 7:07 pm

Now I’m gonna hafta create a YouTube video asking for my very own baby red panda.

13 Grace 05.21.08 at 7:18 pm

‘well you can tell by the way I walk ma walk I’m a cute red pan. no time to talk’

14 HonorH 05.21.08 at 7:20 pm

16 Kris 05.21.08 at 7:27 pm

I’m walkin’, yes indeed,
I’m talkin’ about you and me…
I’m hopin’ you’ll come back to me…

17 berthaservant 05.21.08 at 7:28 pm

Clearly, both the vid and the pic prove the point that baby pandas are born with SERIOUS attitude. I almost expect to hear the theme from “Shaft.”

I’m just talkin’ ’bout Behbeh Red Panda!

18 Theo 05.21.08 at 7:31 pm

SHUTCHOMOUF!

19 brinnann 05.21.08 at 7:37 pm

Teho, warn a sista before you yell somefin’ like that! That was a hard laugh to stifle at the office.

[I thought that *was* the warning... - Ed.]

20 David 05.21.08 at 7:37 pm

In the first picture he’s all like “this is how we walk, see” (in 1930 gangster voice).

The second picture must have been taken the moment before he said ‘boo!”

21 katiedid 05.21.08 at 8:07 pm

hehe.. he looks drunk.. like he has to make sure the ground stops spinning before he puts his paw down.. what a cutie!!

22 Marie 05.21.08 at 8:14 pm

Are you kidding!! How freakin’ adorable!

23 DanS 05.21.08 at 8:16 pm

It looks like he’s walking in slow motion.

24 lurkertype 05.21.08 at 8:21 pm

He’s PRANCING!

the giant tail is :poit:

25 teekay 05.21.08 at 8:21 pm

i swear the commentary from other readers makes most posts THAT much better.

26 helen 05.21.08 at 8:29 pm

27 riolinda 05.21.08 at 8:32 pm

28 cinderELLA 05.21.08 at 8:42 pm

OMG!!!! the walk in the video……. squeeeee! it was like he was walking on eggshells!!!

Does anyone know; where can you get red pandas, and are they legal to keep as pets???

teekay, i agree. evryone, keep on commenting!!!

29 Gwenny 05.21.08 at 8:46 pm

He’s walking like he has the wrong glasses on! LOL!

30 Theo 05.21.08 at 8:52 pm

…or the wrong trousers. (and they’ve gone wrong)

31 joools 05.21.08 at 8:59 pm

There was a “Nature” documentary episode called “Pandas of the Sleeping Dragon”, showed a baby red panda tasting something new that he didn’t like, and he was all, “AACCKK! AACCKK! PTTHTH! Get it off!” and wiping it off his tongue… FUNNIEST THING EVER. Buy it online! Do eet!

32 Scooterpants 05.21.08 at 9:02 pm

I think he’s got his “tree legs” and after a while on the ground he’ll get his ‘land legs’ kinda like when you get off-a boat onto shore.
adorable!

33 chanpon 05.21.08 at 9:06 pm

Since I’m at work, I literally screamed inside my head when I saw this. I think I heard my brain explode.

34 aware 05.21.08 at 9:06 pm
35 Anne 05.21.08 at 9:13 pm

thats the CUTEST red panda i’ve ever seen!

36 taj 05.21.08 at 9:18 pm

Hehe, Tanuki are proof that not only do the Japaneses have us beat on cuteness, but also on weirdness. O_o

37 Analisa 05.21.08 at 9:19 pm

Hartz flea and tick products have killed so many people’s pets. Why are they being advertised on this site. I don’t get it.

38 DesireeI 05.21.08 at 9:23 pm

He looks like he’s walking in SloMo…cute! :)

39 katty 05.21.08 at 9:31 pm

40 Wendy 05.21.08 at 9:42 pm

41 Theresa 05.21.08 at 9:48 pm

That baby definitely needs his own Looney Toons-style “walking” music. So shweet!

42 RabbitDad 05.21.08 at 9:53 pm

What we really need is an XCO of those angry white eyebrows!

43 Pavlovsgirl 05.21.08 at 10:00 pm

44 Pavlovsgirl 05.21.08 at 10:02 pm

46 Khadija 05.21.08 at 10:42 pm

47 SquarePants 05.21.08 at 10:44 pm

For some reason this red panda just reminded me of Mario in his Tankoi (sp?) suit in Super Mario 3 game. Has it remind anyone of that or is it just me? LOL! BTW cute panda!

48 Eastie 05.21.08 at 10:48 pm

Holy freakin’ cuteness! Toooooo much!

49 Rachel Sweeden 05.21.08 at 11:08 pm

I agree Decca that is the cutest godzilla impression ever.

50 Catsquatch 05.21.08 at 11:17 pm

Show of hands, how many of us want one!

:sproing: (hand shoots into air…..)

;D

51 Kim 05.21.08 at 11:28 pm

I want three please!

52 Daphne Moss 05.21.08 at 11:50 pm

Maybe he had some kinda anesthetic or sumpin…I’ve seen these sweeties at the zoo, and they don’t walk like that…still very prosh, tho…
China is trying to save them, but of course they are in trouble (what sweet little forest creature isnt?) ;-(

53 Becca 05.21.08 at 11:54 pm

“I’ll be your priiiiivate dancer….dancer for money…..doooooooo what you want me to doooooooooo”…..his legs are better than Tina’s. ;)

54 Monica 05.22.08 at 12:23 am

Red pandas are endangered although less so than giant pandas. They cannot be kept as pets. Some live in zoos, most in the wild. They are related more to raccoons than pandas but they do also eat bamboo. They are incredibly cute and that baby doing his strut is just the most prosh!

55 Monica 05.22.08 at 12:24 am

I think that baby was just learning to walk hence the ‘tude. On the other hand, maybe he got into mama’s bootini.

56 jen 05.22.08 at 1:23 am

barfing rainbows ovah heah!!!!AAAAAA!!!!! teh qte!

57 Heather 05.22.08 at 1:27 am

He reminds me of the CO raccoon burgular post a while back! I can’t get enough of temporary bipedalism!

58 Catherine 05.22.08 at 1:28 am

I saw this, squeed, and looked at my husband and said “I’m crapping rainbows tonight!!”

59 Catherine 05.22.08 at 1:30 am

I saw this, squeed, and looked at my husband and said “I’m crapping rainbows tonight!!”

60 Catherine 05.22.08 at 1:31 am

uh, sorry bout the double post!

61 spb 05.22.08 at 1:35 am

Hey, remember the conversation some had a few weeks back about what kind of tail we all wanted to have? Well, there you go. My choice was the red panda. They are just soooo pretty and floofy.

62 kittymom 05.22.08 at 1:39 am

@ Monica ~ thanks for the details…
*watches vid again* AAAWWWKKK… tooooo cute… THU-PLOOF. Ded. Just ded.

64 spb 05.22.08 at 1:44 am

I want one! Must have!

(Not for reals, but I had to say it at least once.)

65 Aesthetica 05.22.08 at 2:14 am

“rawr!”

66 Karen in Toronto 05.22.08 at 2:49 am

Peering into invisible bucket: “Must have fruit!”

67 Juniper Jupiter 05.22.08 at 3:31 am

I knew they’d be related to raccoons! Thanx on that, Monica!

BUT, y’all know what’s missing from this particular viddy? That kinda sneaky music that goes “da da da da” at every step he takes!! My sis ALWAYS did that whenever she wanted to sneak a piece of candy out of my hand by fingerwalking and doing that tune!! ALWAYS cracks me up!! XD!!!

68 Shannon 05.22.08 at 3:42 am

Two things:

First came to mind while watching the video – He looks like he is trying to walk on a ship on a high seas!

Second while reading other posts – Ministry of Silly Walks, anyone????

69 berthaservant 05.22.08 at 4:09 am

Shannon, I believe you refer to Python (Monty)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w

And Teho, I believe you refer to Gromit and his Wallace?

70 villy 05.22.08 at 4:24 am

Cutest thing I have EVER seen in my LIFE.

And my squealing made my Siliga jealous. She jumped in my lap and started swiping at him with her little kitty paws. “That’s MY mama, not yours!”

71 AuntieMame 05.22.08 at 4:36 am

He looks like he’s not sure about the feel of dirt under his little paws.

72 Mary 05.22.08 at 6:06 am

Aww, baby firefox! Very adorable.

73 hon glad 05.22.08 at 6:22 am

Pandy has a pimp roll.

74 Dryden 05.22.08 at 6:30 am

OMG! I always knew that red pandas were way more cuter than the already super cute giant pandas. This proves my theory.

75 Kimski 05.22.08 at 6:33 am

With that walk I think it’s destined to be America’s Next Top PANDA Model. Work that runway!

76 Jessica 05.22.08 at 7:45 am

faarrrr steps!! hehehe!!

77 Heather 05.22.08 at 8:01 am

Guess I should have paid moren attn to Monica’s posts!

78 LisaL 05.22.08 at 8:24 am

OMG… OMG… that’s literally what I said when I saw it! I actually started to get tears in my eyes b/c it was so cute!!!
That is just too much… TOO MUCH.

79 Katrina 05.22.08 at 10:51 am

The bebeh’s walking reminded me of ‘The Baby Elephant Walk’

80 karla b 05.22.08 at 12:10 pm

Ack! OMG! MUST SQUEEZY-PET THAT TAIL! Squishy! Thank goodness I am near my kitties so I can pet them.

(I think it looks like his feets are too new to use properly)

81 Kellie 05.22.08 at 1:21 pm

Does anyone else hear that old pimp music playin in their head when they watch this vid?

da da DUH NA da da DUH NA DUH NA DUH NA…..

82 Fegli 05.22.08 at 3:54 pm

These things MOVE? Jebuz… I’ve never seen one do anything but huddle in a tree 20 feet off the ground and sleep.

83 ashley 05.22.08 at 4:24 pm

It looks like a fox and a racoon got drunk,hooked up, and thats what was created.

84 Theo 05.22.08 at 4:43 pm

86 debg 05.23.08 at 2:43 am

It seems like I say this every time, but THIS time you’ve really outdone yourself, peeps. I’m laughing so hard, I’m crying. Or maybe it’s just the sawdust from sanding my living room floor today.

87 Kristin 05.23.08 at 9:12 am

OMG there are actually baby versions of this animal? I thought they were like… born grown up! *shifty eyes*

*dies*

88 Kris 05.23.08 at 11:19 am

Banana – that was so adorable!!! Deserves it’s own CO post! Poor panda baby’s like “MUST.STAY.ON!!”

89 Paunchie 05.23.08 at 2:28 pm

I swear the little kid watching said he looks like he tie-tie…

92 Ms. Scarlet 05.24.08 at 10:50 pm

Augh! The cuteness is overwhelming!

My day has been made so much better. Thank you. : )

93 Ari 05.25.08 at 8:29 am

That second guy is wearing some serious pandaloons.

94 snocrsh 05.27.08 at 9:52 pm

Aw! Look at that teetering!

95 H 05.30.08 at 9:15 pm
