Xia, the New Red Panda at the Pittsburgh Zoo!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chatham chapter.

 

The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium just got a bit more adorable. Xia, the two-year-old red panda, made the move from North Dakota to the Pittsburgh Zoo’s Asian Forest. 

Xia may be a Cutie, but she’s also quite the national celebrity. You can read all about her (and catch some delightful videos) at the links below:
