Meet Mali - the fluffy new recruit at a Bedfordshire zoo

The first of three fluffy female red pandas has arrived at a zoo in Bedfordshire.

One-year-old Mali has a few days to try out the new house at Woburn Safari Park before she is joined by Mambo next week.

Red pandas are classified as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and it is thought there are just 2,500 of them left in the wild.

Red pandas originate from the Himalayas and are herbivores. Their diet mainly consists of bamboo (just like their much bigger namesake), berries and blossoms.
