Summary:
A 1-year-old red panda, Yin, escaped from her enclosure at the Virginia Zoo for the second time in under a month. Yin was found in a tree not far from her exhibit. Zookeepers climbed the tree to coax her down. Yin was placed in a holding facility until keepers could determine and remedy additional escape routes.
