Black, white, red all over: Newspaper? No, Mao Mi, new panda at New York City zoo

NEW YORK (AP) — All the other animals must be green with envy.
The one getting the most attention at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo these days is Mao Mi, a rare red panda that just arrived from his former home at Michigan’s Binder Park Zoo.
Red pandas are endangered, and Mao Mi is part of a Wildlife Conservation Society breeding program that’s trying to ensure the survival of threatened or endangered species.
Mao Mi has black legs, a furry reddish-brown face and body and white ears.
Prospect Park zookeepers said Thursday that their cuddly cutie is very playful and loves to climb trees and explore his new home.
