(230927) -- ATHENS, Sept. 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Sept. 25, 2023 shows a three-month-old red panda in the Attica Zoological Park in Athens, Greece. A red panda born three months ago in Greece is waiting to be named. The Attica Zoological Park, in a suburb of Greece's capital, launched a poll on social media on Tuesday, asking the public to pick a name for her, Antonis Balas, head keeper of mammals, told Xinhua on Wednesday. Animal lovers have until Sept. 29 to vote for one of the suggested names: Mai, Aiko Nami or Ban. The red panda, native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. Fewer than 10,000 red pandas are estimated to remain in the wild. This is why the Greek zoo was very happy with the success of the breeding attempt. (Xinhua/Marios Lolos)
