No, the panda has been trained to do that. Should be living free in nature with their own family.

Often featured in cartoons
Native to the temperate forests of the Himalayas, the red pandas are known for their rare, interesting reddish fur, striped tails, and expressive faces, according to wildlife experts. Because they can be very communicative, they are often extremely popular in Asia and for this reason are featured in many cartoons, as well as toys and mascots. However, due to loss of habitat, poaching, and trapping, these creatures are listed as endangered species.
