I got to see Slash today! And, a few new residents at Elmwood Park Zoo. The zoo is still closed to the public because of construction -- an in, demolishing old buildings and creating new ones -- but, there was a training opportunity, today, for volunteers. It was nice to see old friends and new ones!
So..following on from yesterday’s post this is what that Snow leopard was eyeing up .. This little beauty obviously teasing it as he knew he couldn’t reach it 😂
Populations of red panda can be found in Nepal, India and Bhutan as well as China and Myanmar. They prefer to live in forests that have a bamboo thicket that is tall, has many shrubs, fallen logs and tree stumps to make it easy for the red panda to reach the bamboo. These forests are often found on mountain sides.
I was so happy to see this adorable face! It had been awhile since I'd caught Kola awake and active. And he was doing an outstanding job fulfilling his purpose on earth - bringing joy and cuteness to all!

I may be going out on a limb here, but I think red pandas are one of the most irresistably adorable animals ever. And Kola knows how to play up his natural cuteness with a winning pose and a sweet expression, guaranteed to make me smile for days!

Slash is one of my friends at Elmwood Park Zoo, which is closed through the rest of February. Elmwood has begun a major construction project, thanks to a generous grant. I'm looking forward to seeing Slash, and Elmwood, again in March.
