Red Panda that escaped from Wildlife Center on Isle of Man, UK caught on camera

https://www.facebook.com/james.gale.142/videos/10162880137265657/








Kush the red panda missing from the Curraghs Wildlife Park since last week, has been spotted alive and well. The animal escaped its enclosure after a tree limb came down forming an escape bridge. James Gale who lives nearby, had set up a wildlife camera and left food to see if the Panda was around. Posting on social media, James said:

'Found the panda! We just need to catch him now..

'It was Carl’s hunting skills that worked! He cut down some bamboo and put it in front of his nature camera. We thought the chances were slim but we caught the panda on camera within 12 hours of setting it up. Then again and again. Hopefully we will see him again tomorrow.'
