Buttonwood Park Zoo’s red panda exhibit is now live streaming on BPZoo.org, thanks to a partnership with local IT company Micro Technology Solutions, Inc in Fairhaven. This means that anyone can watch these adorable animals climb, run, and nap 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world. Red pandas need to eat a lot of bamboo every day, which can make them sleepy at times, but they are always cute no matter what time you tune in.
Red pandas are an endangered species with their population declining rapidly over the last 20 years. Currently, there are 219 red pandas at 87 AZA accredited institutions worldwide, all working together to save this species. The zoo’s live-streaming webcam is just one way visitors can support their conservation efforts from anywhere.
In addition to the red pandas, Buttonwood Park Zoo has welcomed other unique animals such as the bearded emperor tamarin monkey in 2022. Visitors love this cute monkey and it quickly became a favorite among families looking for outdoor fun. The zoo offers a variety of animal experiences for those who want to explore and learn about different species.
