3-year-old red panda Ruby at Zoo Atlanta has died, with preliminary necropsy findings suggesting mesenteric torsion (intestine twisting) as a possible cause. Ruby was part of a Himalayan subspecies native to Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of India, and her sister Rose arrived at the zoo with her in February 2023. The World Wildlife Fund lists red pandas as an endangered species.
