Summary
- Endangered red panda Priya has arrived at Highland Wildlife Park.
- The three-year-old female traveled from Edinburgh Zoo.

A three-year-old endangered red panda named Priya has arrived at Highland Wildlife Park, heralding the species' return. She journeyed from Edinburgh Zoo on March 31st to her new home in the Scottish Highlands. Priya has begun exploring her specially designed enclosure, which features climbing structures and ample trees on a wooded hillside.
Conservationists view Priya's arrival as a significant event, as red pandas have been absent from the park for some time. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland meticulously designed her new habitat. Keepers anticipate the arrival of a male red panda, with aspirations for the pair to successfully breed and contribute to the conservation of this endangered species.
