Let's learn about one of the cutest animals in Dublin Zoo - the red panda!
Kelly Mara from the Discovery and Learning Team tells us all about these animals who are equipped to deal with all kinds of cold weather, with their big coat and a long tail that can be used as a scarf.
Unfortunately, these animals are endangered so Zoos and other reserves all over the world are trying to make sure their numbers grow.
The female Jasmina, has been joined by a male called Jinpa, who was only given his name last week.

To celebrate National Volunteering Week last month we asked our amazing volunteers to name the male red panda who arrived at Dublin Zoo this Summer, from Sosto Zoo in Hungary.
And the name our volunteers chose is… Jinpa! 1/2 pic.twitter.com/NeUgEFOpSx
