Ailurus fulgens

The red panda, also known as the lesser panda, is a small mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has dense reddish-brown fur with a black belly and legs, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle and a ringed tail.

The red panda was formally described in 1825. The two currently recognised subspecies, the Himalayan and the Chinese red panda, genetically diverged about 250,000 years ago. The red panda's place on the evolutionary tree has been debated, but modern genetic evidence places it in close affinity with raccoons, weasels, and skunks. It is not closely related to the giant panda, which is a bear, though both possess elongated wrist bones or "false thumbs" used for grasping bamboo.

Phylum Tardigrada

Tardigrades known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär 'little water bear'. In 1776, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada, which means 'slow walker'.

Phascolarctos cinereus

The koala, sometimes called the koala bear, is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae. Its closest living relatives are the wombats. The koala is found in coastal areas of the island's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, dark nose.

Potos flavus

The kinkajou, is a tropical rainforest mammal of the family Procyonidae related to olingos, coatis, raccoons, and the ringtail and cacomistle. It is the only member of the genus Potos and is also known as the "honey bear" (a name that it shares with the unrelated sun bear). Though kinkajous are arboreal, they are not closely related to any other tree-dwelling mammal group (primates, some mustelids, etc.).

Arctictis binturong

The binturong, also known as the bearcat, is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is uncommon in much of its range, and has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of a declining population. It is estimated to have declined at least 30% since the mid-1980s. The binturong is the only species in the genus Arctictis.

Hedgehogs are small, spiny mammals known for their unique ability to roll into a tight ball to protect themselves from predators. Native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, they have sharp quills on their backs and soft fur on their undersides. Hedgehogs are nocturnal insectivores, feeding primarily on insects, worms, and small invertebrates.

In colder climates, many species hibernate during the winter to conserve energy, entering a state of torpor where their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism significantly drop. They prepare for hibernation by building up fat reserves and creating cozy nests in hidden, insulated spots like under hedgerows or in leaf piles.

Taxidea taxus

The American badger is a stocky, burrowing mammal native to North America, known for its powerful forelimbs and striking facial markings, including white stripes on its face and a silver-gray coat. They inhabit grasslands, prairies, and deserts, where they dig extensive burrows to hunt for small mammals like ground squirrels and rabbits.

Although they do not hibernate, American badgers enter a state of torpor during the coldest months, reducing their activity and retreating to their dens to conserve energy. Solitary by nature, these nocturnal predators play a vital role in controlling rodent populations in their ecosystems.

Nyctereutes viverrinus

The tanuki, or Japanese raccoon dog, is a small, dog-like mammal native to East Asia. It is easily recognized by its thick fur, rounded face, and dark markings around its eyes, resembling a raccoon. Tanuki are omnivores, feeding on fruits, insects, small animals, and plants, and they are known for their adaptability to various habitats, including forests and urban areas.

Unlike true hibernators, tanuki in colder regions enter a state of winter torpor, reducing their activity and lowering their metabolic rate during harsh winters. They store fat in autumn to sustain themselves through this period. Culturally significant in Japan, tanuki are often featured in folklore as symbols of mischief, transformation, and good fortune.

As the brand grows, more hibernators and cozy creatures will be added to our collection and this list. They will then be included as art pieces on our loungewear. The reforestation efforts will be aimed at each of these creatures' respective habitats.
