The Himalayan panda, often overshadowed by its more famous cousin, the giant panda, is an extraordinary creature with a story just as fascinating. Known scientifically as the Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens), this small, arboreal mammal is native to the forests of the Himalayan region, including parts of Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. Its charming appearance and unique behaviors make it one of the most intriguing animals in the world.
Kora, the zoo’s stunning Red Colobus monkey, is a master of the treetops. With her fiery red fur and striking black face, Kora captivates everyone who visits her enclosure. She spends her days swinging gracefully from branch to branch, mimicking the natural behaviors of her wild relatives in the African forests.
In the zoo’s Madagascar exhibit, Rafi, the Red Ruffed Lemur, dazzles with his brilliant red fur and expressive golden eyes. Known for his loud calls, Rafi often announces feeding times with vocalizations that can be heard across the zoo. These calls mimic the sounds he would use in the wild to communicate with his troop or mark his territory.
Bao, the Giant Panda, is one of the most cherished residents of the zoo. With his round, fluffy body and endearing black-and-white markings, Bao embodies everything people love about pandas. Visitors flock to his enclosure to watch him munch on bamboo, a task he dedicates hours to each day.
Beneath the surface of the zoo’s vast aquatic exhibit swims Mako, a sleek and awe-inspiring Hammerhead Shark. With his unique T-shaped head and sharp senses, Mako glides through the water with an elegance that leaves visitors in awe. Hammerhead Sharks are known for their incredible ability to detect prey using sensors on their wide heads, and Mako demonstrates this skill during feeding times.
Giraffes have long necks to help them reach leaves on tall trees, especially acacia trees, which other animals can't access. Their height also gives them an advantage in spotting predators from a distance in the savanna.
The hammerhead shark's wide, flat head helps it improve its vision and sense of smell. The unique shape allows the shark to scan a larger area for prey and makes it a highly effective predator in the ocean.
Bamboo makes up 99% of a panda's diet because their digestive system has adapted to process it as their primary food source. Despite being classified as carnivores, pandas evolved to rely on bamboo for survival in their natural habitats.
