The red panda shares this feature with the giant panda, which has a larger sesamoid that is more compressed at the sides.

[32] The red panda's skull is wide, and its lower jaw is ...
Weren't all red pandas sleepy and well-tempered like Audra? Apparently not. Once again, we rounded the corner and spotted Zuko, a sprightly young panda who, we learned, is just over 1 year old.
Like modern red panda it had a "false thumb" to aid in climbing. Members of the subfamily Ailurinae, which includes the modern red panda as well as the extinct genera Pristinailurus and Parailurus, developed a specialised dental morphology with blunted cusps, creating an effective grinding surface to process plant material.

While the red panda is primarily herbivorous, the teeth and skull of Simocyon indicate that it was carnivorous, and it may have engaged in some bone-crushing, like living hyenas.
