Members of the public are being invited to help name a critically important new arrival at Bristol Zoo Project: an endangered red panda cub whose birth marks a significant step in conservation efforts for the species.
The female cub, born to first-time parents Neora and Laya on 26 June, has recently undergone her initial veterinary health check, confirming she is healthy and feeding well. Weighing 780g, she has been cared for by her mother, Laya, within nest boxes in the red panda habitat. Now almost two months old, the cub is anticipated to begin exploring her surroundings beyond the boxes.
