Hamlet is now about 2-years-old and was transferred to the Denver Zoo from Garden City, Kansas at the beginning of last year. Born with cream colored fur, and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, red pandas, or fire fox, are found in the Himalayas. Zookeepers describe Hamlet as relaxed, easy-going and a little bit shy, much unlike his dramatic Shakespearean namesake. When Hamlet isn't busy exploring his new exhibit, keepers say he loves snacking on bamboo. http://bit.ly/1SkqxQx
