Mei Mei recently gave birth to an adorable and healthy cub, at the Oregon Zoo. Red pandas are critically endangered species, victims of deforestation, their natural habitat is shrinking more and more as forests are continuously destroyed.
The birth of Mei Mei's baby was a triumph and great news around the world. Here we see the precious cub wake up and have a snuggle session with mom.
Congratulations to Erie Zoo, Pennsylvania, for welcoming the birth of two critically endangered red panda cubs!
On August 6th, 2020, Erie Zoo announced that their two adult pandas, Pumori and Delilah, have welcomed their first litter! One male cub and one female cub had been born. Currently in the care of animal specialists after staff members noticed the cubs were "failing to gain weight naturally."
In the video, we see the zoo's veterinarian P.J. Polumbo nursing the four-week-old cubs.
"They are doing extremely well," the spokesperson said during the cubs' unveiling on Facebook. "They did just open their eyes within the last week."

Red pandas are adorable (even more so when they stand on their hind legs in the cutest defense mechanism ever). And no, they are not red-colored pandas (I know you're imagining that right now). A little floof has just been born at Idaho Zoo - the first ever red panda to be born there. As you can imagine, everyone is pretty excited about it.
Belfast Zoological Gardens in Northern Ireland have a big reason to celebrate with the birth of their new twin red pandas! Red pandas are unfortunately endangered due to habitat loss and illegal hunting so the twin's birth is quite a big deal! To read more about the adorable new red panda duo and how you can help out, head over to Belfast Zoo!
