Ginger the red panda
Posted 31 Oct 2024 in Edinburgh Zoo
We are sad to share the loss of Ginger, our eldest female red panda. At nine-years-old, Ginger has raised three kits while here at the zoo, after arriving in 2017.
It is not evident what the cause of death is at this stage and a full post-mortem will be carried out.
Ginger was a firm favourite amongst our charity’s teams and our visitors. Her kit is just about old enough that she should be able to survive at this stage without her mum and our expert keepers will be keeping a close eye on her while she continues to grow.
