An endangered red panda cub was born at the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing, Michigan, through a special conservation breeding program arranged by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Experts estimate that less than 10,000 red pandas live in the wild. Cortney Moore is an associate lifestyle writer/producer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent on Twitter at @CortneyMoore716.
The birth is considered a significant win for the species, as red pandas are an endangered species, the facility wrote in a recent press release.
Fewer than 205 red pandas are accounted for in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Program.
