Rusty the red panda, who rose to fame in June 2013 after escaping from his enclosure at the National Zoo in D.C., died unexpectedly last week at the Pueblo Zoo in Colorado.
Rusty's claim to fame took place in June 2013 when he escaped from his habitat at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in D.C. at only 11 months old.
The search was on for the young cub, and it didn't take long for reports of Rusty sightings to be called in across the city.The panda was eventually found sprawled out in a bush in the Adams Morgan neighborhood approximately six hours after his great escape. Though Rusty's adventure around the District was short-lived, his reputation as the beloved"escape artist" followed him for the rest of his life., and zookeepers were warned of the panda's antics.
"That was definitely a warning that was given to our keepers, that ‘hey he is a little bit of an escape artist so keep your eye out and hopefully his exhibit is covered,'" Sandy Morrison from the Pueblo Zoo told FOX 5 DC."He just stole everybody's heart." Rusty the red panda, who rose to fame in 2013 for his great escape from the National Zoo, died in Colorado on Oct. 14.
