Nice - love Red Pandas!

Thanks! They are cute, but quite shy at the moment; I'm sure they'll quickly settle in to their new home

Cute little things, hope they aren't as illusive as the ones at Whipsnade

Last one is beautiful

Many thanks Ingrid for kind comments
- They are so cute, and are grabbing a lot of attention, but those 5 big boys take some beating!

Lovely...

I had numerous visits to Whipsnade and failed to get a decent shot of a Red Panda. Then just before we moved away we did one last visit, and the female came and sat in front of me... Maybe it felt sorry for me .

Many thanks, Steve

Went this evening, first visit since reopening. I'll have a look tomorrow as the light was fading but I did capture a few shots of them.

Hope you managed to get some decent shots. I was surprised how small they are!
