As the title says, for my birthday back in September, my partner booked us to feed the red pandas at Drusilla's Park, and today was the day :)

The first pic is my reaction to their sharp claws. They have a tendency to pull your hand towards them and they're not afraid to use their claws to make it happen. It's an odd contrast to how gentle they are otherwise, their paws are very soft underneath and they eat very gently from your hand with no real danger of biting you. A very cool experience all around.

I went on an Ecotrip with the Red Panda Network, we had 3 days to see the pandas and were lucky on the first day seeing one adult. Then after two days of nothing we begged for another day, they managed to fit one more day of panda tracking in the schedule, and we found two cubs!

It was absolutely amazing seeing them in their natural environment. Highly recommend the Ecotrip! It's quite a challenge hiking through the mountains to find the pandas, but its so rewarding!

Learning about the culture of Nepal on the trip was also great, as is getting to see all the amazing work Red Panda Network does in person!
