Did you know that the ancestor of the Red Panda was native to our own southern Appalachian Mountain region? Join staff from the Western North Carolina Nature Center, an AZA-accredited native wildlife facility located in Asheville, as they explore this fascinating animal. Chat with two educators and an animal keeper from the Nature Center about the discovery of Bristol’s panda fossils, the Red Panda’s diet and habitat, and their conservation status. Join us to learn what it takes to keep their two Red Pandas happy and healthy.
