An endangered red panda at a British zoo has given birth to a ‘miracle’ cub just one month after her partner passed away. Little Red was born at Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, to mother Tilly on July 16.
The cub’s father, Nam Pang, who was one of the park’s most iconic residents, died in June. His death left keepers and fans devastated, but zoo staff say the incredible birth of Little Red has created a “lasting legacy in his honour”.
The incredible moment the healthy cub was born was caught on CCTV in the early hours of one of the hottest days in UK history. The cub is currently being called Little Red until it is old enough to have its first health checks by the vet in the upcoming months, when the gender will be revealed.
