Best time to catch a Red Panda at the zoo is anytime you see them out, sometimes thgey just want to sleep so you wont see them lurking about.

What makes the best time even better is having a good long telephoto lens for such an event which I did with the Nikon 200-500mm. First chance I had to catch one of my favorite animals this close.

It also loved to raom around, it would get curious and go for a walk.
