Maybe the Panda equivalent of Christmas is on January 5. (Or maybe there were some email hiccoughs).
But bears have the fur for sleeping in the snow under ancestral firs, and that's where the presents appear. As if by magic. And the moon is almost full tonight for better visibility.

Sorry to disappoint. I'm slightly addicted to Saucy's colors, and after all he designed the girls back in the when, so you can expect cute Panda tweens or dead YA ones at regular intervals.
But you're welcome to PM me and tell me exactly what you were expecting. Let's keep the comments track GA.

This is just sweet. Though I'm not sure how good panda fur specifically is against the cold like this. I don't think it snows very often where they tend to reside. But that might just be me not knowing as much as I like to say I do.

I did look it up. RL Pandas live in high mountain habitats that get "dozens of centimeters" of snow each winter. [If you go metric, use decimal! FFS!] They will climb down to lower altitude if it gets too cold, but from the wet footprints it's clear that this is only just below freezing. And there's probably a bed of conifer bark and needles under them, soft and dry.
You might argue that a tween anthro body plan is not adapted for sleeping in the snow, as opposed to a feral form that is essentially a fluffy ball with stubby legs, but hush! Also they are keeping each other warm. But they would hate having "thick, oily" fur, so maybe it's a seasonal thing and they will shed back to lighter summer fur when they get home to their warm suburban house.

They might be a little thin for it, since pandas also tend to have a hefty amount of insulation, too. Still, this is very cute. I just hope they don't end up sick. (this coming from someone who goes out to look at snow in shorts and an undershirt...)

They do look slender, but there might be more intramuscular fat than in humans. "Well marbled." So I'm hereby deciding that they have enough energy stored to be able to turn up their metabolism a notch and keep warm in the snow. Losing a pound or two will just encourage them to eat more of the back-home dishes at tonight's dinner. (If everybody has been sleeping in the snow, 1000 calories per serving is only reasonable).

Yes, but then they are almost spherical to reduce heat loss. And they probably have a little hut with central heating to sleep in if they want. The equations are different for slender, long-legged tweens.
