Red Panda

We found this red panda at the zoological park at the outskirts of Gangtok, Sikkim. The red pandas are found in the sub Himalayan region of north east of India and Sikkim. Outside India, it is found in China and Mayanmar. We learnt that red panda is the state animal of Sikkim (a small hill state of India). This is an endangered species now.

WOW!
A young Nilgiri Tahr. Nilgiri Tahr is an endangered species, found in the Annamalai hills (close to Munnar, Kerala). 'This baby tahr looks cute, with a face so extraordinarily beautiful', said our friend Kallol (Doro's 'kallol uncle') who has sent this photo for our blog. Kallol, with his family recently visited Kerala, extreme south of India. (Photo: Dr. Kallol Bhattacharya, Kolkata)
