Parc Animalier d’Auvergne in France has a small and very fluffy new resident. Female Red Panda Mushu gave unexpectedly birth to a baby. On Sunday June 9th, zoo visitors heard the offspring shouting and informed the keepers.
The baby was born a few weeks ago. Photo: Marie Demoulin
The newborn Red Panda is not the first surprise from Mushu this year. In March she made news because she escaped from the zoo.
Obviously, Mushu’s runaway had no negative impact on her relationship with male Red Panda Ibet.
