Schönbrunn Zoo
Ring swap at the zoo for animal roommates
The red pandas have moved into a larger enclosure at Schönbrunn - and will soon have exciting roommates. The coatis and spectacled bears have already moved in together.
Schönbrunn Zoo is shuffling its residents. The red pandas have moved into an enclosure twice as large. It is the former enclosure of the coatis, who in turn have moved in with the spectacled bears.
The enclosure between the rainforest house and the polar bear world has been adapted to the needs of the red pandas with trees and climbing frames. And they will soon have roommates, namely dwarf otters from the Rainforest House. "In this way, we are creating a communal enclosure that offers the animals mutual enrichment and visitors a wide range of animal observation opportunities," says Zoo Director Stephan Hering-Hagenbeck.
The ring swap has another effect: the giant pandas - the young animals are due to fly in from China at the beginning of 2025 - will also have more space in future. The area where the red pandas used to live will be added to the giant panda enclosure. The black and white bears will not be moving in with any other residents. They will have the whole enclosure to themselves.
