Rusty the red panda goes missing from National ZooA red panda named Rusty has pulled an Edward Snowden and gone missing. No word on whether he's bound for Ecuador.
Rusty was last seen in his exhibit at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. And then—abracadabra!—Rusty vanished. The zoo posted this alert to its Twitter feed on Monday morning: ![]() In a series of Twitter updates, the zoo wrote that zookeepers have scoured trees but have not been able to find him. "Red pandas are wild animals, & will bite if cornered or scared," the zoo warned. "If you do see Rusty, don’t try to approach him. Stay where you can safely keep an eye on him & alert the Zoo (202.633.4888) immediately."

9. Rusty, go back to the zoo. There's not enough young bamboo shoots
growing in D.C. to keep you healthy.
