This week, the Red Pandas Tusa and Asa explored their new home on Asia Trail at Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington. The newly furbished enclosure comes with a lot of space to climb.

It is complete with four new indoor enclosures with air-conditioning. Three of them reach 11 feet high and one reaches 9 feet.

This retreat has also viewing windows which allows the visitors to see the Red Pandas while they spend their time inside.
