Red Pandas Are The First Panda


In 1825, nearly 50 years before the giant panda was discovered, Frédéric Cuvier first described the red panda as the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. Georges-Frédéric Cuvier was a French zoologist and paleontologist who was the head keeper of the menagerie at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris from 1804 to 1838 (the year he died). He was the younger brother of the "founding father of paleontology", Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric. Georges-Frédéric's work was also widely known and was mentioned in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick! Georges-Frédéric actually first described the western red panda (Ailurus fulgens fulgens). In 1897, F. W. Styan discovered another red panda subspecies and named it Ailurus fulgens styani, now refulgens. Now you can see why red pandas are the first panda — the original panda.
