Red Panda put to sleep after 'exceptionally' long life

Frisco lived until 17 years and 8 months old

A 17-year-old Red Panda has been put to sleep after what's described as an exceptionally long life.

Curraghs Wildlife Park announced the news saying 'Frisco' had been struggling and it was the kindest thing to do.

The park says 14 years is the most common age of death in the species and very few make it past 16.

In a post on social media they say they'll miss her munching soft fruits and sitting in her favourite tree.
