Rusty is the biggest badass in America.

Things that Rusty has done, in no particular order:

• Escaped the zoo and explored Adams Morgan for days while the Smithsonian begged people on Twitter to find him
• Gone on “sex vacation” to impregnate another red panda
• Been absolutely adorable

You can visit him at the D.C. Zoo, where he appears to spend most of his time eating and trying to escape.
