Red Panda Dies At Sacramento Zoo
A Red panda at the Sacramento Zoo died Thursday, just a week shy of the animal's 17th birthday.
"Harold" was known to be the oldest male Red panda in captivity.
Red pandas typically live up to 13 years in captivity, said a representative from the Sacramento Zoo.
According to zoo officials, the Red panda was admitted to the zoo's veterinary hospital on Thursday with a wound on his hip, which had led to septic shock. The animal was treated but died two hours later.
Zoo officials said the three remaining Red pandas are all in good health.
