Panda turns up

by isleofman.com 17th April 2008
Pichu the red panda, who escaped from a conservation park in Scotland, has been found alive and well.

She is on loan to Galloway Wildlife Conservation Park, near Kirkcudbright, from the Curraghs Wildlife Park.

Two months ago, storms brought down a tree which allowed her and her daughter Isla to break free.

But earlier this week, she was discovered sitting in a tree less than two miles from her enclosure and was recaptured by staff at the Scottish park.

Traps have now been set to try to catch Isla.
