This smaller cousin of the giant panda, the red panda resembles a raccoon. Two red pandas, named Nissan and Micra, live at the Cotswold Wildlife Park in England, and their names are inscribed on the branches. A wasp near the base pays homage to the hundreds of wasps nearby when Peter Calvesbert visited them last summer. The mouse is located between two leaves. Fed up that the giant panda gets all the attention, these two red pandas have chained one up out of the way on the interior of Version One. A red panda is held hostage inside the interior of Version Infinity.
