Cherub of the Mist (also called Return of the Firecat) is a documentary film based on the life of two red pandas, namely, Mini and Sweety, who were released into the Singalila National Park in the Darjeeling District, India. [1] [2] The documentary which was filmed by Naresh Bedi and Rajesh Bedi over 2 years, [3] followed Indian biologist Dr. Sunita Pradhan who at that time had been studying red pandas for over 10 years. [1] It was the first time that someone had filmed the rare red pandas in their natural habitat and shows the animals in courtship, mating, nest building, and the rearing of cubs. [2] Red pandas are found in Nepal, through North-eastern India and Bhutan, and into China and are listed in the Red Data Book. The population of red pandas at that time was estimated to be around 2,500. [2]
