'It's a Boy!': Oregon Zoo Has News About Red Panda Cub

3 年前

Oregon Zoo has announced that its adorable red panda cub is a male.

The zoo made the announcement about the six-week-old in a tweet, alongside footage of him getting a feel for his enclosure.

The cub is the son of four-year-old red panda Mei Mei.

“Mei Mei has been a terrific mom so far, and her boy appears to be in great health,” the zoo’s animal curator Amy Cutting said.

“We’ll still be taking a mostly hands-off approach, and let the cub gradually get used to our care staff. It will be another month or so before he ventures out of the den box on his own,” she said. Credit: Oregon Zoo via Storyful
