9 gravyboat 11.18.08 at 1:32 pm

I AM SO JEALOUS OF THOSE WOMEN RIGHT NOW.

10 lurkingsmirk 11.18.08 at 1:38 pm

Oh to hold one

11 wheresandrae 11.18.08 at 2:08 pm

The one with its feets in the air is killing me with the cuteness. Red pandas really are unnaturally and unrealistically adorable, I swear they’re just stuffed animals and someone is lying to us.

12 joey 11.18.08 at 2:09 pm

ahhhhhh, all six are cute.

13 Brandi7920 11.18.08 at 2:12 pm

WANTS!!!! Omg…can’t handle the proshness…./dies

14 Katrina 11.18.08 at 2:16 pm

O.

15 chanpon 11.18.08 at 2:18 pm

The one to the left isn’t cooperating, by not splaying his back paws along with the others. :(

16 Peg of Tilling 11.18.08 at 2:27 pm

Left panda: I will weesh you away with my awesome weeshing powers!

Middle panda: HELLO, I AM MIGHTY, MUCH LIKE BRUCE CAMPBELL.

Right panda: Look! My tail!

17 Hon Glad 11.18.08 at 2:29 pm

I’d happily pander to these Pandas.

18 ThreeCatNight 11.18.08 at 2:30 pm

Panda 1: “Gack! I so don’t wanna be here!”
Panda 2: “Work it, baby. Work it, yeah! Here’s my 15 minutes!”
Panda 3: “Anyone out there ever had days like these?”

19 Theo 11.18.08 at 2:48 pm

FIREFOXEN! Dance dance dance!!

20 kk3 11.18.08 at 2:50 pm

I want to rub my face all over them…the bellies…the tails…the faces….*splodes!

21 Psilopathic 11.18.08 at 2:50 pm

I’m not sure which is cuter- baby red pandas in awkward positions or young asian women who hold red pandas like it is the culmination of their life’s dreams. I can’t say I blame them; I spent about 10 minutes giggling over each presh lil limb. Lefty’s face and feet! Middle’s tongue action, fat tum, and pointed toes!! Righty looks so comfy!!! *splodes*

22 kk3 11.18.08 at 2:50 pm

The one on the left…his back feet need kissing!

23 Katiedid 11.18.08 at 2:58 pm

I would give a pandy award to Winston for best smooshy face… :-D

24 T.U.M. 11.18.08 at 3:07 pm

@wheresandrae:

“Red pandas really are unnaturally and unrealistically adorable, I swear they’re just stuffed animals and someone is lying to us.”

Just like WINSTON!

25 David 11.18.08 at 3:36 pm

One of my earliest memories is my dad telling me “if you hold up a cat like this, if his back legs curls up [like the one on the left here], then he’s a mouser.”

Don’t know if that’s true.

26 pyrit 11.18.08 at 3:37 pm

OMG! It’s Whoopie Goldberg, Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts!
In, um, Brokeback Pandas!
Hotel Red Panda?
Red Panda’s Society?
Hunt For Red Tocked Pandas?

[And a good morning to *you*, Pyrit, ye scurvy movie wench. I'll be wantin' some o' th' grog fer me mocha... - Ed.]

27 pookie 11.18.08 at 4:00 pm

Red Pandas! They are the Peoples’ Panda!

28 momof2kitties 11.18.08 at 4:09 pm

I NEED to bury my face in middle panda’s belleh. NOW.

29 Pheas 11.18.08 at 4:10 pm

On a related cute note, don’t miss lop-eared bunneh using a wheelchair on MSN:

30 marsheeeee 11.18.08 at 4:19 pm

Oh man, the Chinese people have it made. Red Pandas! Black and white pandas! They get to hold them and play with them and love on them. I am so jealous!

31 Theo 11.18.08 at 4:21 pm

Teal and indigo pandas!

32 nismo 11.18.08 at 4:27 pm

love that middle one showing off its belly.

33 Jiffknee 11.18.08 at 4:51 pm

Finally . . . the new “it” Christmas toy which finally ousts Elmo out of the “must have eet” parental unit frenzy melee at Toys-R-Us.

I’m camping out at least two days in advance of the Black Friday blitz . . .

34 Allison 11.18.08 at 4:55 pm

Oh.. my.. gosh!
They are too adorable!
Who doesn’t love red pandas? =3

35 BBM 11.18.08 at 4:56 pm

They look like they’re wearing black winter coats! WEEEEEEE

36 karla b 11.18.08 at 5:13 pm

First off, I would like to propose a category: Fantastic Tailio Action! (and snow leopards and lemurs should go right in there)

Secondly – OMG! Why isn’t someone getting their hands all over one if those fantastic tails!

Thirdly – I think the woman in the middle kind of has a chokehold on that little guy. It almost looks like his little tongue is sticking out, like his collar’s too tight.

37 Keith Handy 11.18.08 at 5:21 pm

You know the Monty Python sketch where the pet shop owner offer to make a lovely fish by removing a cat’s arms and legs and attaching some fins? These look like raccoons assembled in a similar manner.

38 Fegli 11.18.08 at 5:26 pm

The one on the left is just too much for words! He looks so content…

… or he may just be thinking “More butt support!”

39 carmen 11.18.08 at 6:28 pm

I so wish I was right there to press my face into their bellies!

40 warrior rabbit 11.18.08 at 6:44 pm
41 Gail (the first one) 11.18.08 at 7:07 pm

I can’t decide if those girls look like hair stylists or lab assistants….but I DO think somehow they are responsible for those TAILS!!!!!!

42 Chanya 11.18.08 at 7:11 pm

yeah karla b – I was kinda worried about the panda in the middle too. I am sure I’d be muuuuuuuuuuch better at holding and dispaying the panda… untils I run off with eet. shifty eyes

43 Indiese 11.18.08 at 7:24 pm

Careful of the ‘coons. They come in the night to eat your cat food and ransack your kitchen. Before you know it, their youngun’ will be chasing you through the house on hind legs when you attempt to get them out a la broom (my true story).

Now that that’s out of the way, Zeer aanbiddelijk!

44 Renee 11.18.08 at 7:26 pm

That’s generally the way most animal healthcare providers hold smaller animals. It prevents the animal from hurting the handlers and at least for cats, it induces a calming effect which keeps the animal from struggling. Think momma cat moving baby cat and grabbing with mouth by the scruff, it doesn’t hurt if done correctly but don’t try it yourself or you might hurt them. :)

45 Sarah 11.18.08 at 7:29 pm

Red pandas, I think, are EVEN CUTER than giant ones.

46 Momcat 11.18.08 at 8:00 pm

Oh the feets on the left guy! Can hardly restrain myself from tickling the screen. Now the world knows why I call Most Beloved #1 grandbaby “Miranda Panda”

47 Juniper Jupiter 11.18.08 at 8:04 pm

The lady in the middle is holding pandy like a cat, and it’s acting like it’s being strangled, LOL!

“HALP!! She’s got meh! Run away! RUN AWAY!!!” :P

Well, nobody mentioned the tongueage!

48 TracyFlick 11.18.08 at 8:04 pm

Cuteness Factor. The first one nailed it. The other ones are like “Eh.”

49 Juniper Jupiterj 11.18.08 at 8:06 pm

Oop, sorry psilo and karla! Apparently my find feature’s not workin’!

You two DID mention the tongue…which I want to reach over and…***poke***

***runs away laughing maniacally***

50 Kris 11.18.08 at 8:20 pm

Oooh! I want all 3!!!!

*grabby hands, grabby hands*

The walking red panda is my facebook picture. I love them!

51 katie 11.18.08 at 8:22 pm

52 Kris 11.18.08 at 8:24 pm
53 Khadija 11.18.08 at 8:53 pm

Karla B, totally agree with you on the middle one.

54 J. Bo 11.18.08 at 10:26 pm

IT’S PANDA-MONIUM!

(I can’t believe no one beat me to that…)

55 Paula 11.18.08 at 11:12 pm

Yay! Red pandas are awesome. They are also endangered :( See http://www.redpandanetwork.org for more info (I work with them)

56 berthaservant 11.18.08 at 11:17 pm

I think the two on the right are puppets. Where are the ladies’ gloved hands?

57 Decca 11.18.08 at 11:23 pm

I so want. My birthday is coming up. (OK, not for another month) But I’ve been good and I don’t need anything really. Except a red panda of my very own. Or Pierce Brosnan and a magnum of Bollinger.

58 HonorH 11.18.08 at 11:37 pm

Very cute! The women look so proud, even though the pandas look, well, a little ticked off to me. But they’re still cute!

59 Aquila 11.19.08 at 12:03 am

Decca: I’ll drink to that!
(Either one would be fine for me for Christmas… )

60 Sarah 11.19.08 at 12:05 am

berthaservant: Lost in the panda’s luxuriant fur!
Seriously, I want to cuddle these guys SO MUCH.

61 Purple 11.19.08 at 12:49 am

OMG cutest animals EVER! wants snorggle feets ::: dies

62 Matuska 11.19.08 at 1:40 am

GAUGH. WANT SOO BAAAAD. ;-;

63 Samantha 11.19.08 at 3:04 am

Eeeeeeeee!
One please!

64 totalee puppy 11.19.08 at 3:16 am

Hon Glad–Favorite comment
is your offer to “pander to these Pandas.”

65 DLR 11.19.08 at 8:34 am

oh lawds sake, red pandas are so fricking adorable! i haven’t really seen much of them as so often it is the black & white pandas the media usually report on, not these uber-cute fuzzy-wuzzies.

66 Kelly J 11.19.08 at 12:36 pm

the one on the left is soooooooooooooooo unbelievably cute. So jealous.

67 Mad Maudlin Hart 11.21.08 at 12:22 am

Ruhmember Master Yoda…um, Shifu… from that Kung Fu Panda thing? SQUEE! TAILS!

68 flyingfish 11.21.08 at 12:48 am

@ Keith Handy: you’re exactly right! Plus, I think the middle one is pining for the fjords… well, s/he certainly wants outta there.

My dad would say these look like animals put together by committee. I had no idea red pandas have black bodies! Will wonders never cease.
