A famous UK zoo has slammed the use of fireworks after a terrified three month old red panda died from the noise of the explosions. Experts claim Roxie, a baby red panda at Edinburgh Zoo choked on her own vomit and died because of her reaction to fireworks in the area.

The baby panda was born on July 17 to her parents, Bruce and Ginger - who also died five days earlier at the zoo, which is suspected to be due to distress from fireworks too.

Zoo owners are linking the death of a baby red panda on Bonfire Night to fireworks and have called for tighter regulations. Wildlife conservation charity the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), which owns Edinburgh Zoo, said vets blame the death of three-month-old panda kit Roxie on her reaction to fireworks in the local area.
