Rusty is about the size of a raccoon, but the missing red panda triggered a big reaction on social media after the National Zoo alerted residents on Twitter that he went missing. Related: Missing red panda found in Adams Morgan

I don't have work today. I'm tempted to spend the next few hours roaming D.C. trying to #FindRusty

Animal care staff have been combing the trees around the Zoo since 8 a.m. He could be sick & hiding, or someone could have taken him.

Maybe the #redpanda is on its way to Moscow, or Cuba or Equador or Hong Kong. #DC cc: @NationalZoo

Red pandas typically spend the warm daytime hours resting, so it’s likely Rusty is somewhere in or near the Zoo hiding in a tree.

@welovedc @nationalzoo Red pandas are small little guys. Not as hard as losing a regular panda, I'm sure. #redpanda

So how long until Hillary tweets about the panda and we all flip out about it?

OF COURSE THEY ARE "The zoo’s giant pandas are safe and “inside slumbering" per @washingtonpost story on Rusty. http://t.co/Rag10VXQLV #bums
