Red Panda Waiting For Lunch

This is Pushpa, one of the two red pandas at the zoo in Duisburg, Germany.

I shot this when her keeper was in their enclosure, preparing the bamboo for them. She is a little shy but when it comes to food she will approach the keepers and wait next to them while they prepare everything. Some times she starts to dig in while the keepers are still getting the bamboo into the right position so it won't fall down, resulting in a little Tug of War!

I've been supporting the Red Panda Network with my photos and Pushpa has been featured often on their social media sites. Red pandas are endangered, please consider supporting the Red Panda Network as well!
