Overview
- The unnamed female cub was born in June and is the third offspring of mother Rosie and the eleven-year-old father Joel.
- Zoo curator Martin Kränzlin says the cub is developing well and Rosie is carrying her more often so she can begin brief explorations outside the nest box.
- With luck, visitors can already glimpse the cub on the enclosure but sightings depend on how frequently Rosie brings her out.
- Rosie and Joel arrived at Tierpark Berlin through the European Endangered Species Programme, which coordinates breeding to maintain healthy genetic lines across zoos.
- The zoo supports the Red Panda Network in Nepal and highlights the birth as a chance to raise awareness for a species listed as strongly endangered by the IUCN with fewer than about 10,000 individuals in the wild.
