if we could have an office pet…

Here at Black Tomato HQ in lovely London, there’s a whole lot to love about this city, but the wildlife doesn’t exactly inspire us these days… Grey squirrels and pigeons don’t really get us whipping out the cameras (no offence to any enthusiasts out there).

Lately, we’ve been checking out Bhutan, that little country sandwiched between China and India, and Sophie discovered one of this country’s natives that has quickly made the top of our ‘reasons you should go now’ list.  Red Pandas.

Forget pesky raccoons (their closest relative despite the name…), these cuddly looking things don’t spend their days raiding rubbish bins – they’d rather be chilling in a tree chewing on bamboo or napping. Sounds like our kind of life…

We think they’re one of the best things around, and they may not be around for long, so again – ‘reasons you should go now.’ Plus how can you say no to a face like that?
