The sad passing of Red Panda 'Pandora' - 14/11/2011
Staff at Paradise Park, Hayle are Staff are mourning the passing of one of their most popular animals, Pandora the Red Panda.
Curator David Woolcock commented “Pandora was a great favourite of both the staff and visitors alike. Over the years she produced several cubs which subsequently went to other zoos within the UK, and many of these cubs have now produced young of their own. She will be greatly missed. Of course we still have Lang Za who is five years old, and it should not be too long now before we have a new mate for him.”
As Red Pandas are an endangered species, coming from bamboo forests on the slopes of the Himalayas, there is a ‘studbook keeper’ who will recommend which females from zoos around Europe are most suitable to join Lang Za. Paradise Park raised over £700 for panda conservation in the past year including at its Red Panda Awareness Weekend in August.
