Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

My project examines the daily activity budget of a singular red panda at the Sequoia Park Zoo, quantifying how behavior compare to wild red panda datasets as an indicator of animal welfare. Using an ethogram and systematic observations, I analyze how closely these patterns align and identify husbandry features that may influence the expression of natural behavior.
