If you don’t see a Red Panda at their hut or on the ground, look up!
These little cuties love to climb and can often be seen napping high up in the trees of their habitat.
Red pandas climb down from trees head first because they have a large modified wrist bone that gives them a pseudo thumb, allowing them to grip tree trunks and tree branches and hold on to bamboo stalks.
OhioHealth Tip: While any exercise will help to reap the mental rewards of exercise, studies show that aerobic activities such as swimming, dancing and running are best for achieving the psychological benefits of exercise. Exercises such as yoga prove to be beneficial to your mental health as well. With yoga, you are practicing mindfulness, which helps to ease anxiety and stress and encourages you to be present in the moment.
