Many zoos around the world have closed to prevent further spread of the coronavirus. These measures are absolutely essential. Please stay at home and protect yourself and your loved ones.
There are many other ways to experience Red Pandas instead.
Live-Cams
Trevor Zoo, Beardsley Zoo and Oklahoma City Zoo broadcast live from the Red Pandas’ enclosure.
Videos
There should be no shortage of Red Panda videos on Youtube, Instagram & Co, some of which we have collected in our Red Panda-Playlist. Many videos (and other stuff as well as fanart) are also available on Reddit.
Documentary films
Red Panda fans in the USA can stream the multiple award-winning documentary “Cherub of the Mist” on Amazon Prime.
A brief version of the German documentary “Der Kleine Panda – Verborgen im Himalaya” (“The Red Panda – Hidden in the Himalayas”) offers “Tierwelt live”, a streaming service for nature documentaries. Only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Parc Animalier d’Auvergne in France offers a folding tutorial for a Panda-Origami. Although the instructions are in French, they should be translated quickly using DeepL or other services.
