Is the red panda smallest panda?

The statement in the question is not correct. The red panda is not the smallest panda. The smallest panda is the red panda's closest relative, the lesser panda. The lesser panda is also known as the red cat-bear or the Himalayan raccoon. It is found in the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. The lesser panda is about the size of a domestic cat, with a head and body length of 45-65 cm and a weight of 3-4 kg. The red panda, on the other hand, is larger, with a head and body length of 50-65 cm and a weight of 3-6 kg.
