DIY Mini Friends - Red Panda

Meet 'Sundar', a replica of a real Red Panda named the same, here at Wellington Zoo! Did you know that Red Pandas came to be called 'Pandas' much before their better known cousins, the Giant Pandas? And that they belong to a carnivorous animal family, but much prefer to eat vegetarian food? Learn more about the cute little Red Panda and have fun making a miniature paper model of your own!

SUNDAR, the Red Panda, is a great activity and learning tool for kids and adults, to spread awareness about animal species disappearing from our planet. The kit includes friendly facts about the animals and offers hours of creative pretend play. In the process, we get to know a bit about tigers and why they are disappearing, so we can help in some way towards conservation of this beautiful species.
