Reasons the new AnimalJam Animal may be a Red Panda!

Hiya guys :3

(Not my account, I found this pic online)

So, I know many people have been saying that the new animal is an Arctic Fox, but I beg to differ.

Here are my reasons why I think the new animal may be a Red Panda:

1- AnimalJam exaggerates things.  Take a look at the Lynx.  AJ made them with large front paws, but in reality, lynxes are more well known for their large back feet and smaller front paws.  I heard that red panda's tails are not as fluffy as this photo, and their ears are smaller, but who's to say AJHQ isn't exaggerating again to make them look cuter?

2- The Red Panda Plushie is won from the Journey Book in Mt. Shiveer.  Makes sense, right?

3- Why does AJ need another fox animal?  I can not really see what the benefit of having a slightly fluffier fox running around  Jamaa will do, besides making the old foxes obsolete.  There are no red-panda-like animals in AJ so far, except maybe the raccoon.

4- The proportions look more like a red panda than an arctic fox.   Take a look at this photo.  The arctic fox has a slightly longer snout than the red panda, its legs aren't as fluffy, and its body is longer, although, AJ may just be exaggerating an arctic fox.

5- Look at the different body parts on the new animal, and then on this photo.  Very similar, right? The front legs are very large, the tail is poofy, and the ears are rounded.  Foxes normally have pointier ears than red pandas, right?

Ok, maybe I just think Red Pandas in AJ would be cool :) 
These may be slightly biased, since you can probably tell I want to be right about this :P

Anyway, thanks for reading, have a great day!

Note: Sorry if some of these points seem a bit pushy!  I'm just throwing an idea out there :)  It may actually be an Arctic Fox!, and I may be completely wrong about it being a red panda!
