Columbus Zoo Searches for Missing Red Panda

By Staff, Agencies

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is desperately trying to find a missing red panda that was last seen on Tuesday night.

According to a Facebook post, staff members have been extensively searching through the dense vegetation in and around their habitat and throughout the zoo.

As a precautionary measure, the other animals that live in the surroundings have been moved so that their habitats can be searched, too.

“Footage from the den camera and security cameras located through the facility are being evaluated by staff, but so far, there have been no sightings or strong evidence of how she went missing,” the zoo said.
