zoo

In the early 1900s, the conservationist and anthropologist Madison Grant, who helped establish Glacier National Park and the Bronx Zoo, wrote pseudoscientific tomes about the coming extinction of white people.

Edinburgh Zoo's baby red panda has died from stress caused by fireworks on Bonfire Night, according to veterinary experts.

The zoo is now joining with animal welfare charities and other campaigners in calling for tighter restrictions on fireworks.

New powers banning the use of fireworks came into force in four areas of Edinburgh between 1-10 November - though this did not include the area around the zoo.

Roxie was born in July, taking the number of captive red pandas at Edinburgh Zoo to four, and a fifth arrived in Scotland from Whipsnade zoo in October.
