A new red panda aged just ten months old has arrived at Amazon World on the Isle of Wight.

Flint arrived late on Thursday from Belfast Zoo, and moved into the red panda enclosure on Friday morning.

There he met female red panda Xiao, and it is hoped the pair will successfully breed in the next couple of years.

Flint's transfer from Belfast Zoo was part of the Endangered Species Breeding Programme. 

Amazon World said thank you to the team at Belfast Zoo for their help with organising the transfer and to JCS Livestock for arranging the flight and transportation to the Island.
