US-ANIMAL-RED PANDA
This photo courtesy of the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, DC shows Rusty, a red panda. The National Zoo in Washington put out an all points bulletin via Twitter on June 24, 2013 after one of its racoon-like red pandas went missing. Rusty, a male, was last seen Sunday evening at the popular Smithsonian-run zoo, where staff have been combing trees since Monday morning in search of the missing critter. "He could be sick and hiding or someone could have taken him," the zoo said on its @NationalZoo Twitter feed, where it urged the public if call immediately if they spot Rusty. "Red pandas typically spend the warm daytime hours resting, so it’s likely Rusty is somewhere in or near the Zoo hiding in a tree... Remember: red pandas are wild animals and will bite if cornered or scared." On its website (nationalzoo.si.edu), the zoo said Rusty -- who turns one year old in July -- settled into its Asia Trail exhibit earlier this month to breed with female red panda Shama.
