Buttonwood Park Zoo is mourning the loss of one of its beloved red pandas.
The zoo announced Thursday that Marie, the first female red panda to call the zoo home, died on May 28. The cause of death was likely liver failure due to embolisms, according to the zoo.
Marie first arrived at the zoo in 2019 and made history the following year when she gave birth to Kodo, the first red panda born in New Bedford.
