The animal in the Firefox logo is not actually a fox !

It’s actually a panda ! Slightly larger than a domestic cat, the red panda is native to the Himalayas and western China. Many assume that the animal in the Firefox logo is a fox, yet Firefox is actually the nickname for the rare panda species. Eating mostly bamboo, it is currently classified as “vulnerable” by IUCN because of its dwindling population..!! 

Here is a picture on the animal. In Chinese, “fire fox” is another name for red panda. It is said that Firefox browser is named after it.
