Columbus Zoo Recovers Missing Red Panda

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Columbus Zoo officials say they have found a female red panda named Kora that went missing on Wednesday. 

Officials say two patrons spotted Kora Thursday hiding in dense brush between the rhino habitat and pachyderm building.  Kora fled into a tree over the roof of the building, where she was tranquilized and taken to the Animal Health Center.  The zoo says Kora will be monitored and reunited with her cubs. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
