Panda Updates – Friday, December 11

Jackie the red panda joined us less than a month ago, but it already feels like we’ve known him forever! He has settled right in and seems very comfortable in his habitat and behind-the-scenes area. He loves to climb high in his tree and uses every part of his habitat. Jackie made quick work of scent marking everything he could to show that this space was his. There are a few different doorways in various sheltered areas of his habitat, including some flaps and a dog-door type entry into the center nesting box, which he took only a day to master. He is very curious about everything and loves playing with enrichment. We are really enjoying getting to know him and seeing him so comfortable in his new home!
