Red Panda

Sporting red-orange fur, black legs, stomachs, and tail rings, and white face markings, red pandas thrive in tropical and sub-tropical mountain forests. Found in Nepal, China, and Bhutan, they're solitary animals, and they are vulnerable to abrupt habitat changes due to expanding residential, agricultural, and industrial development that reduces their space and resources.

The red panda is currently an endangered species. The Toronto Zoo participates in and contributes to the management and support of red pandas through research, husbandry, management, and education. Working with other accredited facilities, the Toronto Zoo helps maintain the genetic health and population numbers of red pandas in captivity and in the wild.

By adopting a Toronto Zoo animal, your support will help to safeguard the future of species, like the red panda, for future generations. Help us to preserve and protect our planet, and the incredible wildlife that call it home.
