Sunny D’s new space offers enhanced explorations, relaxation
and future housing for multiple red pandas

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 23, 2024) – Today, the Louisville Zoo announced that one of their most beloved animals — Sundara (Sunny D), the red panda — is now back on exhibit in a totally new space, just in time for his May 23rd birthday.
Sunny D’s new location makes him exhibit neighbors with the Zoo’s trio of Linnaeus’s two-toed sloths — Fern, Sunni and Sebastian— and provides more room for the 2-year-old panda to explore and relax. His new surroundings boast two large outdoor areas as well as offering the potential to house multiple red pandas in the future.
Dan Maloney, director of the Louisville Zoo emphasized the habitat’s role in supporting the broader conservation efforts of the Red Panda Species Survival Plan.
“With this new habitat, the Louisville Zoo continues its commitment to the care and conservation of endangered species like the red panda by not only providing a nurturing environment for Sunny D, but also the opportunity for potential offspring.”
Red pandas love to climb, and Sunny D’s new abode is outfitted with a network of climbing elements that span the length of the habitat. This structure is specially designed from sizeable pieces of an Osage orange tree that succumbed to a storm at Joe Creason Park and was donated to the Zoo by Metro Parks. Additional hollow trees offer cozy spots for Sunny D’s other favorite pastime, napping.
Lush bamboo plants enrich his new home, offering diverse feeding opportunities. The dwelling is also equipped with large fans and shaded areas to help Sunny D stay cool, along with a comfortable indoor bedroom.
In addition to providing a superior living space for Sunny D, the Zoo plans to introduce an immersive behind-the-scenes experience with red pandas. This will include naturalistic log training stations for VIP encounters and daily keeper chats for guests. The behind-the-scenes area is fully ADA compliant, ensuring accessibility for all visitors

These conversations are part of the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform. The LDC Reform is an equity focused approach to revise the LDC consistently with Plan 2040 to allow for increased housing choices and opportunities in new and existing neighborhoods, to create procedures and regulations that are easier to use and increase the quality of life by reducing the concentration of environmental hazards near housing.
