The Bright Red Panda at the Kansas City Zoo

One of my other favorite animals here at the Kansas City Zoo is the Red Panda, becasue they are very pretty and they're very cute. They have 2 of em here. The male that I took a picture of here has a really bright red coat while the female is a bit more brown in color. These guys live in the cooler reasons of Asia in the wild so they don't like heat too well and I have heard that they can get heat stroke at just 85 Degrees Fahrenheit, so the Zoo keeps 2 pens for their Red Pandas. During the hot and humid summers here in Kansas City they keep them in an Air Conditioned indoor pen and during the rest of the year when the temperature is lower they keep em outside in the pen you see here. If there's very warm days when they're keeping them outside they will also keep a gate open to the inside where it's cooler.
