Yesterday was International Red Panda Day. Their habitat is being destroyed by deforestation, agriculture, and human settlement, and they are also hunted for their fur and body parts. International Red Panda Day was initiated by the Red Panda Network in 2010 as a way to raise awareness and promote conservation efforts for red pandas.It is celebrated to spread awareness about a species that is near extinction. The day was launched by the Red Panda Network in 2010. At that time, 16 schools and a few zoos participated in red panda activities. Currently, more than 60 zoos around the world participate, with over 100,000 visitors on Red Panda Day. On our many zoocations we have come across lots of red pandas with Tennessee seeming to have the most. Other than being absolutely adorable it is almost impossible to take a bad photo of a red panda.
While at the Zoo 
I love that you’ve shown so many different Red Pandas, with so many different colorations and markings. A nice variety.
Thanks, too, for all the wonderful pics you sent a couple weeks ago of the Elephant Migration — I loved your pics! I visited them Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them.
