EDMONTON - MEET FRED & GEORGE
The two red panda cubs named Fred and George that were introduced to Edmonton on Friday were actually born about four months. Laura Castor, an animal care supervisor with the zoo, said Fred & George are adventurous and mischievous, like the red-headed Weasley twins in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Red pandas are an endangered species, with fewer than 2,500 remaining in the wild, including near the foothills of the Himalaya mountain range.
