Red Panda (Teddy)
Crikey! I was born on 22 December 2021, and my sister Scarlett was born the day before on the 21st so that made her the bigger sister in age and size. I’m a little shy like our dad, Nima, whereas my sister has a big personality like our mum, Mohini. We were mum and dad’s first cubs and the first ever red panda cubs to be born at Australia Zoo which makes us very special indeed.
We spent the first few months living in our cosy nest with mum and drinking lots of her milk whilst huddled up together, but now I prefer to live alone and have the whole habitat to myself. My favourite food is grapes, they’re delicious!
All of my energy is used in climbing massive fig trees in my habitat and I enjoy keeping my keeper friends on their toes by jumping out of the nest whenever they walk by!

* Each guest pass is valid for a single day entry only, to be used within 12 months of adoption purchase. For Gold, Platinum and Ultimate adoptions, guest passes can be used for multiple single day entries for one person, or single day entries for up to the specified amount of people. For Gold or Platinum adoptions, if you are unable to use the included guest passes you can opt to swap the guest passes for a plush toy animal.
^ The encounter is subject to availability and must be pre-booked. Restrictions based on age, group size, and specific animals apply. Please note that encounters with some animals are not possible due to health and safety regulations (they include: saltwater crocodiles, tigers, elephants, snakes and iguanas); an alternative animal encounter will be substituted.
Please note: While all of the animals available for adoption are usually on display at the Zoo and/or participate in encounters, adopting an animal does not guarantee the chance of seeing or meeting them if visiting the Zoo. Animal availability is subject to change; there may be times when animals may be temporarily off display due to unforeseen circumstances, such as veterinary check-ups or habitat maintenance. If booking one of our amazing animal encounters to meet your adoptee, please advise staff of the animal you adopt at the time of booking.
Animal adoptions and associated elements are non-refundable, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
It is important to note that adopting an animal does not provide a company or organisation license to promote Australia Zoo across their channels. If you desire to include in advertising and/or collateral including your website, further discussions will be required. If interested, please let us know and we can organise a meeting. Thank you again for your support!
*Please allow up to 3 weeks for the delivery of your gift pack, if applicable.
