9. September
A closeup taken in September. You’ll find this stunning red panda as you hike through the ‘Himalayan Pass', home to sisters Alice, Ariel and Aurora. The Red Panda trio were born in June 2019 and live in the ‘Himalayan Pass’ reserve. They all have their favourite spot to sleep high up in the trees. Despite their species name, Red Pandas are not closely related to the Giant Panda – they are most closely related to Weasels and Racoons. Photo: Yorkshire Wildlife Park
10. October - New arrival in Autumn
Yorkshire Wildlife Park welcomed Pablo, the baby red howler monkey in October. His mum and dad, Geronimo, both brightly coloured and vocal Venezuelan Red Howlers (Alouatta seniculus), only arrived at the park earlier this year. Red Howler Monkey males have a huge part to play in the rearing of young in their groups, and Pablo has already been seen interacting a lot with his dad, Geronimo. Photo: Mark Dinnage
