Love is in the air for Longleat's Red Pandas

It looks like love is in the air at Longleat as Valentine’s Day approaches.

Neo, Longleat’s newest red panda, arrived at the Wiltshire estate a few weeks ago and is already setting hearts alight as he is introduced to fellow red panda Maya.

The two have been pictured touching noses as they meet on a branch in their habitat.

The Red Panda is an endangered species with fewer than 10,000 and potentially as few as 2,500 in their natural habitat. There has been a global population decline of 50 per cent in 20 years.

Guests can see Neo and Maya throughout the February half-term during LEGO Brick Week, from 14th – 22nd February. A LEGO brick safari will be created in The Longhouse, Longleat’s dedicated indoor event space, offering guests the opportunity to design and create LEGO brick models, whether that’s animals, structures, trees or plants as part of the wider scene.

Alongside this, there will also be a range of workshops and crafts, as well as a LEGO Brick Acorn Trail across the Park.

Tickets are available at longleat.co.uk
