An inspection is underway on an enclosure at Adelaide Zoo after the escape of a red panda.
The zoo says Ravi is now safely back in its health unit after being rescued from a tree in the Adelaide parklands on Sunday.
He was brought down with a tranquilliser dart after resisting attempts to lure him with food.
Ravi had been missing from the zoo since Friday.
"Red pandas are master climbers and while we take every effort to provide a secure area, the combination of panda prowess coupled with the weather helped him to go on an adventure," zoo officials said.
"A full inspection of Ravi's exhibit will be underway immediately."
That will include reviewing CCTV footage to try to determine how he got out of his main enclosure, and how he breached the zoo's external fence.
The zoo said red pandas posed no risk to humans and the small mammals, native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, were considered an endangered species partly due to habitat loss.
Ravi was born at Adelaide Zoo seven years ago, but only returned to South Australia last week after spending several years at Australia Zoo in Queensland.

US actress Anne Heche is "not expected to survive" a severe car crash that left her in a coma, her family says.
Heche suffered a "severe anoxic brain injury" and remains in a coma in critical condition due to the incident, which took place last Friday.
The 53-year-old was taken to hospital following the crash in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles.
It comes shortly after the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the PA news agency the incident was being investigated as a felony driving-under-the-influence (DUI) traffic collision.
An LAPD spokesman said preliminary blood tests had revealed the presence of drugs in Heche's system, but added that additional testing was required to rule out any substances that were administered in the hospital.
Hours later, a statement shared with PA on behalf of her family said the actress was being temporarily kept on life support.
"We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne's recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses that cared for Anne at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills hospital," the statement read.
"Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive," the statement read.
"It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.
The statement added: "Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit.
"More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life's work - especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love.
"She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light."
Heche is the former partner of US talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres - the pair began dating in 1997 before separating in 2000 - and is known for films including Donnie Brasco, Cedar Rapids and the 1998 Psycho remake.
Pictures and video footage obtained by US media outlet TMZ following the incident showed Heche driving a blue Mini Cooper, which was later pictured severely damaged at the scene.
The vehicle struck a two-storey home and "erupted in heavy fire" according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Almost 60 firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure, according to an LAFD report.
Heche sustained a "significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation" and "burns that require surgical intervention", a spokeswoman for the actress previously confirmed to PA.

Australian parents are being targeted by cash-seeking fraudsters impersonating their children as part of an emerging text messaging scam.
At least 25 people in Australia have been swindled by the scam since January, Victoria Police's Cybercrime Squad revealed on Friday.
Believed to have originated in Europe, it begins with a WhatsApp or text message along the lines of "Hi Mum, I've changed provider/lost/broken my phone - I'm temporarily using this number for now".
The conversation develops before the impersonator requests money for some kind of emergency, including to purchase a new phone or pay an urgent bill, explaining they are locked out of their online banking account.
They will frequently request another sum of money after the initial transfer or being provided with credit card details.
It appears most of the "Hi Mum" scammers are based overseas and don't know their Australian victims, whose collective losses are estimated to be beyond $2 million.
The scam pulls on the heartstrings of parents, who would react without a second thought if their child needs financial support, Cybercrime Squad Detective Sergeant John Cheyne said.
Parents should ask for verification if they receive a similar message from an unknown number and to come forward if they've been swindled, he said.
"Give the number a call and ask them to prove who they say they are, or call the original number you have saved in your contacts for the person. Alternatively, you could ask them to send a voice note to verify who they are," he said.
"Often, matters of this nature are under reported and that can be for a range of reasons, including fear or embarrassment, and sometimes feeling unsure if an offence has occurred."

British pop sensation Dua Lipa will lead a star-studded line-up of artists performing at Victoria's biggest celebration of live music this spring.
Touted as "the biggest music event in Victoria's history", Always Live will see more than 150 local and international musicians perform at more than 90 events across 12 regions at well-loved venues, including Melbourne's Palais Theatre.
The event, a statewide celebration of live contemporary music, was a long-held dream of late Australian music executive and promoter Michael Gudinski.
Michael's son Matt said his father would be immensely proud to see it finally come to life.
"Always Live was a dream my late father had to reassure our state's live music roots, and I am proud to be part of the team making it a reality," said Matt Gudinski, who is the event's chair.
"Whether it's Billy Joel at the MCG, Dua Lipa at the Palais Theatre, Nick Cave at Hanging Rock or one of the many unique events which make up the program, Victoria is the place to be if you love live music."
English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor will play an exclusive show at the NGV Garden Restaurant on November 10.
With two-thirds of the program devoted to Victorian artists, international drawcards will feature alongside some of Australia's most celebrated talent including Jessica Mauboy, Yothu Yindi and the Teskey Brothers.
Melbourne singer Ashwarya said she's thrilled to support international artist Dua Lipa.
"My manager messaged me, I woke up and saw the text and said 'Is this for real?' I was so stoked. I'm really keen to just be able to have this experience and grow as an artist," she told reporters.
Indigenous Australian rapper Briggs said the event is a dream come true for local artists.
"It's awesome, it's great for local artists but it's also great for everyone who makes the shows happen," he said.
"There's so much hunger and people need that outlet, not just artists but the audience is ready (too)."
Tourism Minister Steve Dimopoulos said the state government has committed $14 million for the program and was its sole funder.
"There will be ticket sales that support the Always Live business model but for us it's about supporting the industry," he said.
At a separate press conference, Premier Daniel Andrews also noted about half of all tickets for Joel's one-off show at the MCG on December 10 have been sold to people from outside of Melbourne.
"What that means is thousands of hotel rooms and tens of thousands of meals that they will purchase, a massive boost to the Victorian economy and the CBD will fare very strongly out of that," he said.
