===Communication=== [[File:Red panda twittering.ogg|thumb|Sounds of red panda twittering]] At least seven different vocalisations have been recorded from the red panda, comprising growls, barks, squeals, hoots, bleats, grunts and twitters. Growling, barking, grunting and squealing are produced during fights and aggressive chasing. Hooting is made in response to being approached by another individual. Bleating is associated with scent-marking and sniffing. Males may bleat during mating, while females twitter.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Qi|first1=D. |name-list-style=amp |author2=Zhou, H. |author3=Wei, W. |author4=Lei, M. |author5=Yuan, S. |author6=Qi, D. |author7=Zhang, Z. |year=2016|title=Vocal repertoire of adult captive red pandas (''Ailurus fulgens'') |journal=Animal Biology |volume=66 |issue=2 |pages=145β155 |doi=10.1163/15707563-00002493}}</ref> During both [[Play (activity)#Other animals|play fighting]] and aggressive fighting, individuals curve their backs and tails while slowly moving their heads up and down. They then turn their heads while jaw-clapping, move their heads laterally and lift a forepaw to strike. They stand on their hind legs, raise the forelimbs above the head and then pounce. Two red pandas may "stare" at each other from a distance.<ref name="roberts+gittleman" />
