The Red Panda, otherwise known as Ponya (in Nepali), resembles a raccoon and is not closely related to the Giant Panda. It is native to the temperate forests of the Himalayas, is a good tree climber, and spends most of its time in trees. The house holds the value of “Curiosity”.

House Companion Animal: Tamaraw
When everything else fails, every Ponyan can agree on at least one thing: the red panda is the cutest house animal.
You can usually find us at the back of the lift (it’s a long ride up), but the best way to lure us out is with the promise of good food! We have an amazing view that we love to show off on social media and a refreshing wind to top off the sunsets.
We’re the house that does our best in everything we set out to do – where the outcome doesn’t matter as long as we do it together!
