Red Panda Coloring Page (4 of 4)

This detailed picture shows a red panda resting high in a misty mountain forest, with distant trees and rolling hills carefully drawn in. This is the most detailed of the four, so give it an unhurried stretch of time.

About the Red Panda

The red panda is a small, tree-dwelling mammal native to the mountain forests of the Himalayas and southwestern China. Despite sharing part of its name with the giant panda, it is only distantly related, and is instead most closely related to raccoons and weasels.

With its rust-red fur, round face, and long bushy tail ringed with pale bands, the red panda has become one of the most beloved animals at zoos worldwide. It spends much of its life in trees, feeding mainly on bamboo leaves and shoots, moving with a slow and gentle grace.

Benefits as a Coloring & Brain Training Activity

For coloring, the red panda rewards warm reds, browns, and cream tones, and following the fluffy texture of its coat and ringed tail is a delightfully absorbing exercise. Adding the mossy branches and leaves around it makes for a calming page that gently engages the mind.
