The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Red-Pandas-FPZ-5

The Red Panda explosion of late has us wondering: Will the lesser Panda party ever stop? Is that confetti in this little cub's mouth? Regardless, you can't have enough Red Panda babies in your life, so break out the streamers, it's Panda time once again! This pair was born at Franklin Park Zoo on July 4 to Stella Luna, age 6, and Yang, age 5. The typical gestation period for Red Pandas is about 134 days, and females give birth to one to four cubs. Born helpless and with eyes closed, the cubs stay in the nest box with their mother for about the first 90 days. The twins are expected to be on public view sometime in this month. Party on!

    Yes! More red pandas … it’s great that they breed well and successfully rear their young in captivity.

    Yep!! It looks like a red panda baby boom here in the USA and Ireland! I’m trying to do the counting, but I think there have been at least 12 red panda babies that have been born in the USA and Ireland since the beginning of 2011! I’m hoping that someone with Zooborns will have the exact number because there are alot of little red panda kids running around this year! Chari Mercier, St. Pete, FL 🙂
