The Buffalo Zoo on Instagram: "What better way to celebrate #InternationalRedPandaDay than to put names to the faces you've fallen in love with? The Buffalo Zoo is thrilled to introduce... Joy and Henny! Joy, born right here at the Buffalo Zoo on June 15 to proud parents Himalaya and Mogwai, received her name through a heartfelt and generous donation made during our recent Rendezvous in the Zoo “RITZ” Gala, presented by the Yurtchuk Foundation. The word joy comes from the Latin meaning “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” Her donor chose the name to capture the way this little cub has already brightened the lives of her family, our staff, our visitors, and our entire community — and to carry that joy wherever her journey may take her in the future. Our newest cub, Henny, arrived in Buffalo through a special partnership with the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, Michigan. Her name, given during her time there, is of German and Dutch origin, meaning “ruler of the home.” While petite in size, Henny carries her name with quiet strength and determination, and her more reddish face sets her apart from her new sister’s” strikingly white head. Buffalo Zoo visitors can say hello to Joy and Henny from 1:30-3 p.m. daily in the ambassador animal exhibit near the entrance to the Diversity Hallway and our gorilla exhibit. Viewing is not guaranteed and times may vary. With Joy and Henny, we are not just introducing two adorable faces — we are sharing a powerful story of hope, resilience, and collaboration. Their journey reminds us why conservation matters, and why protecting vulnerable species is at the heart of the Buffalo Zoo’s mission to Save Wildlife. Read more at the link in our bio!"
