“A rare pair of red panda twins have made their first public appearance at Longleat.
The 10-week-old cubs were born earlier in the summer but are only now beginning to venture outside.
The pair are the first to have been born to new parents Emma and Lionel as part of a successful breeding programme for the endangered species at the Wiltshire attraction.”

Awww… I’ve been to Longleat. It’s lovely. It’s one of the few Elizabethan houses still in the original family, in this case Caelwyn Thynn, the 8th Marquess of Bath.
It’s also one of the first, if not the first, of the old mansions to be open to the public. The Thynns did that so they could save it. And they built gardens, mazes, and a safari park. It’s really worth a visit if you find yourself in the southwest of England.
I hope that's not seen as an evolutionary maladaptation that makes him easier prey. Like this:

It is rare only because this was the first time it had been seen in this park. Spotted zebra foals have been seen in Botswana. This happened in 2019, by the way, and was all over the FB horse pages at the time.
commenter wrote:It's an eastern rat snake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis). I'm a professional meteorologist for 42 yrs but also an amateur herpetologist. Common on the Florida peninsula. Likes to eat rodents (hence the name). Harmless to people and probably that cat (he's too big). Good to have on your property. It appears to have been injured about a foot down from his head. Might be ok, though
