Join Beardsley Zoo in celebrating International Red Panda Day on Saturday, September 21st! This annual event highlights the endangered red panda, a unique species threatened by deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and the illegal pet trade.
From 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, visit the Natt Family Red Panda Habitat to meet Zoo Educators, explore fascinating artifacts, and learn more about these adorable creatures. Discover how the red panda, whose name means “fire-colored cat,” uses its bushy tail for balance and warmth, and how it spends much of its day snoozing high up in the trees.
International Red Panda Day encourages awareness and conservation efforts to help protect the habitat of this lovable species. Make sure to keep an eye out for the elusive red pandas, as they love to spend time in the treetops! Come support Beardsley Zoo’s efforts to protect this endangered animal and its environment.
Bring the whole family for a fun and educational day celebrating one of Earth’s cutest creatures!
