Red Panda cub twins have been born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in a huge coup for the attraction’s conservationists.

According to Gretchen Ziegler the zoo manager, “We got a report from somebody who possibly spotted it outside the park around two this afternoon”.
The Sequoia Park Zoo, along with city staff and officers with the Eureka Police Department are searching for a red panda that escaped from its enclosure Thursday.
But, said Ziegler ruefully, “She must have found someway”.
Directors at the National Zoo and the China Wildlife and Conservation Association have sealed a deal for pandas to remain at the zoo until the end of 2020. “We’re going to try to figure it out”. Instead of pounding the city pavement, staff believe the young panda may have made her way into the Sequoia Park forest around the zoo, the Journal reported.
A red panda is missing on California’s far north coast. “She’s only been in the panda exhibit her whole life so she’s pretty naïve”, Ziegler said yesterday. “We’ll be searching all day and all night”.

Authorities said people should avoid contact with the panda and call authorities if they spot Masala, according to The Time-Standard.
