Rusty the red panda goes missing from National Zoo

A 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."

15. L'Affaire Rusty divides nation

Supporters love Rusty and call for sanctuary in foreign country, with some suggesting his image be added to Mt. Rushmore.

Others call for apprehension and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

The controversy is shaping up to be a no-win for the National Zoo Director, CNN reports.
