The promotional activities will last from 1000 to 1500 hrs Sunday, Zagreb Zoo has reported.
Zagreb Zoo will soon receive a red panda from Dortmund, and this panda that has been given the name Maya will join the red panda Zvonko in Zagreb.
The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs. It feeds mainly on bamboo, but is omnivorous and also eats eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day. The population continues to decline and is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries. This species is not closely related to the giant panda.
