of its name. They"re actually a member of the raccoon (浣熊) family which you can tell if you look at their
appearance.
The Red Panda has a long bushy tail that is useful in two ways. It helps them stay balanced when they are
high up in the trees and it keeps them warm in cold weather. Their fur is thick and reddish brown, which may
be why they"re known as the firefox. The Red Panda can be found in forested mountains. They"re originally
from the forested mountain in the Himalayas in India, Nepal and southern China. Bamboo is the most important
part of their diet. They only eat the young leaves and shoots of a bamhoo plant. Red Pandas have a very low
metabolic rate (代谢率) in order to deal with their low energy diet and cool environmental temperatures.
They"re very shy and gentle and don"t hang around the wild too much during the day. If they feel endangered,
they"ll stand on their back legs and make a hissing (嘶嘶的) sound. Red Pandas are good climbers and spend
most of their time living mainly in trees. Their claws are very strong and help them hold onto the branches.
They sleep in an unusual way by curling up tightly and wrapping their tail around their head while sitting on a
branch. Sometimes they"ll sleep with their head beneath their chest and behind their back feet. This is the same
position as an American raccoon sleeps.

| Attractive fathers do not pass their looks onto their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters, research shows. In a study of family photographs, Professor David Perrett and Elisabeth Cornwell-now at the University of Colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters, the couple"s good looks do not necessarily contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult. Handsome men with masculine (阳刚的) looks are likely to pass on masculine features, but not facial attractiveness. The theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son. While many celebrity mothers produce beautiful daughters-such as Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson or Jerry Hall and her daughter Georgia-the same is not necessarily true of celebrity fathers. Sean Stewart, the son of Rod Stewart and his first wife Alan, would probably be judged less attractive than his model sister Kimberly. "We can"t see a strong relationship between the parents" attractiveness and the sons. If the parents are supermodels, their daughters will be lookers," Perrett said. Prof Perrett said it has previously been suggested that a woman could increase her own reproductivets (繁 殖的) success by choosing a good-looking man whose genes would be passed onto male children. But the new study, published in the current edition of the journal Animal Behaviour, disagrees with the theory. He said:"When we looked at women"s faces, we found clear evidence that attractiveness passed from both father and mother to daughter. For the male line, we find that facial masculinity follows the rule "like father like son". Masculine dads have masculine sons. But we did not find any evidence that facial attractiveness is passed from father to son." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
