Hertfordshire wildlife park welcomes 'miracle' endangered red panda cub

A wildlife park in Hertfordshire has welcomed a 'miracle' endangered red panda cub.

Paradise Wildlife Park said that mother Tilly gave birth in the early hours of 16 July to a "miraculous, beautiful and healthy" baby, who has been named "Little Red" until it undergoes its first health checks.

Little Red's father Nam Pang sadly died in June.

"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," zoo operations coordinator Aaron Whitnall said.
