Red Panda Exhibit

Ive seen alot of red pandas in zoos such as erie zoo,cleveland zoo,akron zoo,columbus zoo,cincinnati zoo,ogelbay good zoo and when i was at smithsonian zoo they were off display at the time cause they had babies but anyways this is another reason why i wanna go to this zoo. another exhibit which is big,open and foresty for such a small animal. love it

Is there another barrier in addition to the rather porous-looking fence here? If the fence is the only barrier, do they not have concerns about the pandas getting out and/or people getting in

I don't remember another barrier. It made me wonder myself how they don't get out of their exhibit.

It looks like the grass slopes down to a dry moat. The wooden fence might just be to keep visitors from falling in.

Good call Pat, I do see the slope now that you mention it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Although there must be a non-climbable and steep surface leading back up towards the fence.

There is a steep drop off into a dry moat, and along the wall is an electric wire as extra precaution, most of the time the Pandas stay in the trees. They used to live with Muntjacs but they were move in the exhibit next to theirs.
