Red Pandas in Ireland: Naming the Cubs | Ireland News

Red pandas are in serious trouble—only 2,500 to 10,000 left in the wild—but hope is on the rise at Fota Wildlife Park in Ireland, where two adorable cubs born in June are thriving under mom Laxmi and dad Grga. These tiny, raccoon-like creatures are now over three months old and starting to explore more during daylight hours. To celebrate International Red Panda Day, Fota’s inviting the public to name the cubs via a contest at the Serengeti Shop—with winners snagging an annual conservation pass. Plus, the park’s been buzzing with other baby animal births lately, including lion cubs and a sea eagle chick.
