Red Panda Meets New Mate
The Zoo introduced its newest member, a male red panda, Tate, to Shama, the Zoo's female red panda on February 6, 2009. Tate recently arrived from the Cape May Zoo in New Jersey. After a day's acclimation to his exhibit on Asia Trail, Tate was introduced to Shama and immediately exhibited breeding behavior. A birth for this pair would be significant for the Zoo—red pandas are endangered and breed only once a year.
