Yeah I think the caption to this video has the info if google translate is right; looks like naming entries are submitted until the 28th:

We are also looking for nicknames until December 28th. Since the application box is in the exhibition hall and the library, we are waiting for a lot of applications.

Since it's the season for both holiday gift giving and year end charity giving, here's a post about that stuff. I bring it up every year but there's a few good charities that help with the welfare of the endangered red panda population.

If you want gifts, the World Wildlife Foundation has a Red Panda adoption kit with various price ranges. $55 gets you a stuffed red panda toy that's pretty nice, and they're donated so it's not like there's less donation left after (aside from the shipping I guess). There's some new price tiers this year with different stuffed pandas including a giant red panda for $250.
https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/species-adoptions/red-panda.aspx

The only caveat to the WWF donation is that they don't direct the money directly to red pandas, it's just a WWF donation with a red panda reward. That said, as far as I know, it's a good organization. They claim 85% of donations go to conservation efforts.

Unfortunately I'm posting too late, I just saw that Thursday was the cutoff for delivery by Christmas to get items from the WWF. I figure it's still worth mentioning, though.


The other organization that works directly for conservation of red pandas is the Red Panda Network. They work on a lot of direct initiatives to help with red panda conservation. The Red Panda network has option to donate and a symbolic adoption donation that gives you information about a specific red panda they keep track of in Nepal (via email to keep costs down). This year they also have gifts available for donations over $100 (you pick a t-shirt, stuffed panda toy, or a 2018 calendar):

would you goons like to do a Red Panda Project?? the project is: there is a friend of mine. this friend has a friend. this friend of a friend has a little girl. the little girl looooves pandas. and, importantly, a deal has been made that messages that arrive for her in a certain way are from "the red panda" (meaning these messages are coming directly from one of the pandas at our local zoo (it is a smart panda ok)). the potential goon project here is......i have been given pre clearance to be a mysterious source of these messages :q:

the little girl and the parent don't know me, and my friend who knows them isn't going to spill the beans, so if/when i start sending panda communiques, they will have no idea who it is from. my idea was, and my friend thinks this is a great idea, is for me to be a relay between "some people on the internet who love pandas" and this little girl who loves pandas. our collective creativity and nerdy knowledge of panda videos/knowledge/etc will be kind of a Panda Santa for a budding panda lover. all i "need" is fun ideas that fit the theme. anybody interested?

also it would be good if someone can point me to a sub forum that isn't publically viewable where a thread like this would fit b/c i don't want to spoil things

It sounds cute but you could probably use a lot of http://redpandasdaily.com/experiment#_=_ as good messagesto start. I'm sure crowd sourcing red panda captions or finding good pictures or videos would be fun, though.

Meanwhile, Jazz and Melody are eating some orange fruit on the keeper.

Remembering a passage from the proper care manual (advising zookeepers) that said, "This behavior should be discouraged and not inadvertently positively trained in any way." Snow is the turbocharger for even well-behaved Pandas it seems but for other reasons:

[To save the cold, I have a lot of appetite because I accumulate fat in winter. Such an explanation is good - Eita who climbs up to the keeper only with apple kureha.
