Here are eight cute pictures of red pandas. They look like they were made to be held, then left somewhere soft. The pictures are from public collections, not a news report.

Little paws, and no hurry at all. — Mathias Appel, public domainred panda. They look knitted, then set down somewhere safe. — kokotoni, CC BYRed panda. A soft pause, which is sometimes the whole story. — Marie Hale, CC BYRed Panda. They seem pleased to be exactly where they are. — Mathias Appel, public domainred panda. Nothing to solve. Just a small animal being dear. — Mostly Dans, CC BYRed Panda. A look that says the afternoon can wait. — ogwen, CC BY
