...when in reality you just want to cuddle them

More cute. Incidentally they are genetically closer to a raccoon than a panda.

Up you come you cuddley little sweety

This amount of cuteness is definitely scary!

To me this always looks like "Hi!" - "OH MY GOD HI!"

No guys this is sooooo much scarier. It's such a good scare tactic that they should do it more, they definitely will not just randomly make someone feel better trying to scare them!

Thats cute

The cuddliest animal ever

Nope...they are advertising bear hugs.

When they feel inadequate Bored Pandas downvote and falsely accuse others of bigotry to look smarter and more distinguished.

Red Panda-"Must be big and scary" Me-"Is that a hug you want my sweet baby?"

Me and my best friend after not seeing each other all summer

They absolutely look more huggable. But I wonder if, like possums and raccoons they're actually little, fuzzy whirlwinds of pain and destruction if you do try to pick them up.

Jazz hands! ( Or rather, paws. )

Will even challenge dangerous looking rocks!

I want to give the fluffy little guys a hug

Dangerously Adorable!!!

🥰🥰😍😍🤩🤩

Terrifying

Task failed successfully.

They demand uppies! 🤣

Not a great defense cause it just makes them look cuter.

"Dangerous" isnt the word i would use in that situation

Like a toddler asking to be lifted up.

Just makes 'em more adorable!

It's not working. They just look more adorable.

That is so cute, hope it works.

Can confirm. I do this too.

Oosa big boi, oosn't he?

You were trying for Go Away Because I'm Dangerous, but you achieved Pick Me Up and Hug Me.

omg this is sooooooo cute i love red pandies my #1 fave animal

He stretch

Kind of hard to think of pandas as dangerous.

And only end up looking cuter.

They are so cute

Instead it makes them look cuter, kinda like Natsuki from ddlc once she gets made it makes her all the more cute

Yes they do! Who’s a good little red panda-wanda?

They are a wild animal and look cute but don't know if you should get to close to them. Never know how a wild animal will act.

I just can't - I want to just squeeze the little pandas

Double high five!

Woah! SO scary!

No, they KNOW it makes them look adorable and then, while the enemy is slapping both hands to their cheeks and squee-ing "SO ADORBS!!", they leap up and dis-embowel them.

Do they shout "Booyah!" as well? 'Cause if they did that would be perfection.

My cat used to do this but he was so cute it just made me giggle.

Looks like they failed

It isn't working. Happily.

AHHHH THEY ARE SO CUTE OH MY LORD

Dangerously cute
