Utah's Hogle Zoo welcomes red panda with a biscuit habit

• Kiaria, who hails from Ohio's Toledo Zoo, will eventually share a habitat with fellow red panda William, a 1-year-old male who arrived last year.

The big picture: Red pandas are classified as an endangered species by The International Union for Conservation of Nature. Less than 10,000 are estimated to live in the wild.

Zoom in: Red pandas love their sleep, snoozing up to 17 hours a day, according to the zoo.

• They are also experts at camouflage thanks to their reddish-brown fur that allows them to hide in trees and bamboo forests.
• Visitors are advised to visit the pandas during dawn and dusk, when they are most active.
