What Animal Is Used on the Mozilla Firefox Logo?

Posted By on February 26, 2012

mozilla firefox logo

Do you know what animal is used on Mozilla’s Firefox browser logo?

If you said, “fox,” I’m afraid you’re wrong.

Try this:

red panda firefox

A Red Panda.

In Chinese, “fire fox” is another name for the red panda.

;-)

UPDATE!

I’ve gotten some feedback regarding this post and I’ve been challenged as to the accuracy of this fact due to this blog post by the design company. If you read it closely, you’ll find nothing to the contrary. The Firefox logo is a Red Panda.

Besides, why would Mozilla be doing this?

    You just blew my mind, thought I was hoping for Knuckles the Echidna.

    The animal itself may actually be a red panda, but that doesn’t mean the design is based off of one…

    Look at the shape of the snout, that’s a foxes snout, it looks nothing like a red panda

    I see no resemblance between the Firefox logo and an actual firefox
