Exactly on Father’s Day, 21 June 2020, a Red Panda was surprisingly born at the Vogelpark Avifauna – the first Red Panda birth in the history of the Dutch zoo.

The mother of the little one lives in the Vogelpark Avifauna since 2015. The father moved there from Portugal in 2019. He has his birthday on the same day as the newborn Red Panda.

The offspring is currently not yet visible to visitors. Panda mother and cub are still in their den.
