A clever little red panda named Enoki, who lives at the Oregon Zoo, adorably pounced on a colorful puzzle with yummy apple treats hidden inside and quickly solved it. According to the zoo, this puzzle benefits her mind, body, and belly.

Puzzle feeders like this one present a fun challenge for smart, motivated red pandas who enjoy a crunchy apple snack.

Enoki arrived at the Oregon Zoo in May 2026 as part of a conservation breeding program to help protect this very cute but endangered species.
