From the National Zoo:
“A new red panda has officially joined the pack! Carnivore keepers at our Front Royal, Virginia conservation campus are celebrating the birth of an unnamed cub, born to first-time mom Keahi and dad Rocket. Keepers say the cub, born June 22, is doing great.
Learn all about our cub in the latest episode of the @rossifari podcast. Listen here.
As our conservation campus is closed to the public, Zoo visitors will not be able to see the cub. However, stay tuned for an update for International Red Panda Day on Sept. 20!“
