The endangered species climbed a tree adjacent to the enclosure in the zoo’s Panda Canyon on Sunday morning; workers were able to 'recall' her back hours later
A red panda named Adira briefly escaped her open-air enclosure on Sunday — by climbing an adjacent tree — before zoo employees were able to lure her back to the habitat, a zoo spokesperson said.
“Wildlife care specialists found that a female red panda had climbed into a tree adjacent to her habitat in the Zoo’s Panda Canyon,” the zoo said in a statement.One worker used a long piece of bamboo to help guide the animal in the right direction and eventually employees were able to “recall” the red panda back into the habitat, said zoo spokesperson Darla Davis.No injuries were reported.
For their part, zoo officials said they don’t regard Adira’s time spent outside her enclosure a true escape. Adira — one of four red pandas in the zoo’s collection — came to San Diego in November, when she was relocated from the Toronto Zoo on a recommendation by the Red Panda Species Survival Plan.
