A “miracle” red panda cub was born on July 16 at the Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire, England.The cub, dubbed Little Red, was born to mother Tilly just a month after the death of father Nam Pang. Tilly and Nam Pang were part of an international breeding program, though until now they hadnt conceived during four years together, the zoo said.Little Red is beginning to develop its markings and color, and in the coming months zookeepers will learn its sex. Red panda cubs typically wont venture out of the nest until two or three months after birth.Red pandas are classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, with less than 10,000 estimated to remain in the wild.“This cub has become a symbol of hope, after the tragic passing of Nam Pang, for his memory and legacy to live on, is more than we ever expected,” Aaron Whitnall, star of the CBBC show “One Zoo Three.” said in a statement.
