Keti the red panda

A feisty addition to the Calgary Zoo had a big coming out weekend. On the
day three month old Keti first met her dad, the ginger coloured red panda
cub was also introduced to her adoring public for the first time. The 3 kg
Keti, which means little girl in Nepalese, was given the moniker through
an on-line naming contest. Here are her first moments in the bright sunlight
of the panda exhibit.

@StarpeemReturns Well the name Vulpix comes from a root meaning "fox," and is fire-type. Red pandas are sometimes called fire-foxes. So yeah.

@DigimonSpirit260 Actually the red panda was called panda first and the giant panda is actually a bear (hence it is also known as "panda bear").
