Bronx Zoo on Instagram: "As if we need an excuse to celebrate red pandas, today is International Red Panda Day! Here’s Linus the red panda enjoying an apple stick given to him by his keeper! #DYK red pandas have a “false thumb”? It’s an elongated wrist bone which increases their dexterity and enables them to grasp things like bamboo and apple sticks. Commemorate this special day with a ride on the Wild Asia Monorail or walk on over to our Himalayan Highlands exhibit to see our red pandas."
