I'm ready for spring

I'm ready for spring
I guess cold temperatures are not a problem to these cute Red Pandas, which have a Conservation Status of Vulnerable. This one is at the Calgary Zoo.

"Red Pandas live in the slopes of the south of the Himalayas and the mountainous forests of the southwest of China, at altitudes of up to 4,800 meters, and generally do not venture below 1,800 meters.... They are very heat sensitive with an optimal “well-being” temperature between 17 and 25°C, and cannot tolerate temperatures over 25 °C at all. As a result, Red Pandas sleep during the hot noontime in the shady crowns of treetops, often lying stretched out on forked branches or rolled up in tree caves with their tail covering their face." From Wikipedia.
