Red Panda Government Drive, St. Louis, MO 63110

Red Panda is an institution located at Government Drive in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. This institution is dedicated to the conservation and protection of red pandas, who make their home in mountain forests and bamboo thickets. The red pandas are mainly active at night and spend their days sleeping in trees to avoid predators.

Red pandas are solitary creatures, except during breeding season when they come together. The expectant mother creates a birthing den and usually gives birth to two babies per litter. The young pandas stay with their mother for at least 18 months before becoming independent.

Unfortunately, red pandas face a high risk of extinction in the wild due to the decline of their bamboo forests from human development. The Saint Louis Zoo is actively involved in the Red Panda Species Survival Plan, a breeding program aimed at ensuring a healthy population of these animals.

In addition to red pandas, the institution also houses other animals such as penguins, puffins, grizzly bears, gorillas, and chimpanzees. Visitors can enjoy rides on the Conservation Carousel and the Zooline Railroad, as well as shopping at gift shops and dining at eateries on the premises.
