Red pandas are famous for their adorable looks. They are fun-loving animals with kitten-like faces and striking reddish-brown coats.

The Chief Minister of the state, Pema Khandu, took to social media to share a video of the same and internet users cannot get over the cute animal.
The video shows the red panda perched on a tree amid the picturesque scenery of Arunachal Pradesh. The cute animal is then brought into focus by the camera. The panda stares straight into the camera's lens and looks extremely amazed by it. A few seconds later, it starts to look around.
