Rare Red Panda Cubs Born at Wildlife Sanctuary

A wildlife sanctuary in New South Wales introduced a trio of red pandas to the world on Wednesday, April 5, after they were born at Christmas to a first-time mother, Kesari.

The cubs weighed about 100 grams each, the Illawarra Mercury reported, and had only just left their nests for the first time.

It was an exciting moment for what is an international breeding program to improve numbers of the endangered species.

“We are extremely proud to be contributing to the breeding program in such a miraculous way,” Symbio Wildlife Park General Manager Matt Radnidge said. “The care and dedication from our zoo keeping team has been clearly evident through the delicate process of assist feeding the cubs, and ensuring the health of Kesari.” Credit: Symbio Wildlife Park via Storyful
