How is the status of the Styani red panda in the USA. In Europe none are kept at the moment and historicly only 8 collections have had this subspecies ( ! ).
They're around, just like the Western ssp. I've seen Red Pandas at 6 zoos so far and 3 have has A. f. fulgens and 3 have had A. f. refulgens (Styani). One of those with A. f. refulgens, Cincinnati, also currently has a cub. Based on my limited knowledge and observations, I'd say they are just about as common here as the Western. If ISIS ever comes back out and/or ztl ever makes an American version I'll make sure to look into it for you if I remember. ~Thylo

I was unaware they held that subspecies. So is that the boa they keep in that puny mixed enclosure? ~Thylo
If you are talking about the one in "Animal Lifetstyles" it is a Common Boa, Green Iguana and Red-Footed Tortoise.
