A History Of Daring Red Panda Escapes

Don't be fooled by its fluffy, clumsy amble. The red panda is a master escape artist. Red pandas may look like terrestrial animals but they're arborial - they're awkward and clumsy on the ground, which is misleading. They're designed for life in the trees, with super-sharp claws for climbing.

They might not be great jumpers, but that's about their only weakness as far as escaping goes; they're excellent swimmers as well as climbers. That plus an energetic, curious, and playful personality and metabolism makes them one of the best jailbreakers at the zoo.
