Saffron the red panda has explored his newly-renovated habitat high and low!

Red pandas are arboreal, spending most of their time in the trees. Saffron has quite an outstanding view from his new climbing structures.

The high, dense canopy of a coast redwood grove creates a cool, moist environment on the forest floor - perfect for shade-loving ferns and fungi. 🌿🍄

🐻 Tule Tummy Alert 🐻

The American black bears - Tule, Ishŭng, and Kunabulilh - have all been packing on the weight as they get ready for torpor, a period of increased sleep and reduced overall activity.

Since having reached the peak of hyperphagia- a period where they might consume as much as 20,000 calories a day to pack on the weight - back in September or so, the bears have since been easing their way into torpor by building dens, eating less (and being more picky!), and napping more.

This picture taken at the end of October really highlights the magnificent belly Tule has been working on!

As giving season approaches, please consider supporting the Animal Care Center Fund at Sequoia Park Zoo.

Right now, when advanced veterinary diagnostics are required, our animal care team is dependent on shared equipment or must travel with animals out of the area.

Having an in-house, portable digital radiography system and ultrasound devices would allow us to diagnose issues in minutes - not hours or days.

Your generous gift means faster answers, quicker treatments, and swifter recovery for the animals in our care.

Animal Care Center Fund at Sequoia Park Zoo is a component fund of Humboldt Area Foundation + Wild Rivers Community Foundation.
