1.What is Rae Rae..is he a fox, a raccoon? What is he?

Well, Rae Rae is neither, he is actually a Red Panda. Red Pandas in the wild are found in the mountains of Nepal and northern Myanmar (Burma) and in central China. A full grown Red Panda is about the size of the average house cat and weighs between 10-20 pounds. The Red Panda’s primary diet in the wild is bamboo leaves but they will also eat fruit, acorns, roots, and eggs. They spend most of their lives living up in the trees and search for food at night and during the early hours of dusk and dawn.

2.Where does Rae Rae live?

Rae Rae lives (along with 16 of his closest animal friends) in the House Tree in the magical land of “Naturia.”  Naturia is a perfect place designed by Mother Nature herself. It’s a place where all animals are welcome, there is no pollution, and living a GREEN sustainable way of life that is completely in harmony with nature is the most important thing!

3.How did Rae Rae end up living in Naturia?

Well, when Rae Rae was just a little Red Panda, just beginning to live life on his own, the bamboo forest he lived in was being overtaken by developers looking to harvest the bamboo trees. Rae Rae and quite a few of his friends were rescued by Safari Stan and Safari Sue and brought to Nauria to live where they would be protected from the outside world.

4. What is the House Tree?

The House Tree is a completely self sufficient living space created by Mother Nature that Rae Rae and his friends live in.
