If ever there was an excuse to gaze adoringly at some of the planet’s cutest animals, it’s International Red Panda Day – it’s basically our collective responsibility.
Thankfully, several zoos around the world were on hand to help – look at these adorable creatures getting their nutrition on board.
Happy International Red Panda Day!

Red pandas have suffered an estimated 40% decline in numbers over the last 50 years, with habitat loss, trapping and poaching all to blame.
IRPD then helps to raise awareness of this, and the red panda’s adorable nature definitely helps to spread the word.
