The search for the National Zoo’s missing red panda got a happy ending Monday afternoon.

The zoo tweeted that Rusty, a baby red panda who is about the size of a raccoon, was found safely. The news that he had gone missing sparked concern across social media and closed the zoo for two hours Monday.

“Rusty the red panda has been recovered, crated & is headed safely back to the National Zoo!” the tweet read.

The red panda was found in a bush in Adams Morgan, a National Zoo spokeswoman told the Associated Press. Zookeepers had last seen him at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Zoo curators searched the grounds with binoculars Monday. The spokeswoman told the Washington Post earlier that Rusty’s enclosure had “hot wires,” which deliver a small shock if an animal tries to escape, and she admitted the red panda might had been stolen.

Cousins of the giant panda, red pandas are native to China and like to climb trees. Rusty came to D.C. in April from a zoo in Lincoln, Neb. and has been on display for about three weeks. The zoo hopes he will mate with a female red panda named Shama.
