Cuteness Alert: Photos Of Baby Red Panda Born At Milwaukee Zoo

MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI -- International Red Panda Day, a global commemoration to conserve and celebrate red pandas, is coming up on September 13, just in time for the Milwaukee County Zoo's birth announcement of a baby Red Panda.

The new female cub, yet unnamed, was born June 6. The cub was born to first-time parents, mother, Dr. E., and, father, Dash.

Dr. E., is 3 years old and is from the Cincinnati Zoo. Father, Dash, is 6 years old and is originally from the Granby Zoo in Quebec, Canada.

Because the youngster is still getting acclimated to her new surroundings, animal care staff is allowing her plenty of time to become comfortable before her introduction to visitors. It’s the Zoo’s hope she will make her public debut in the next few weeks.

Zookeepers report that the cub is doing very well and first-time mother, Dr. E, is doing a great job raising her first cub. Details of her debut will be coming soon.
