Red panda born at Newquay Zoo
Newquay Zoo has announced the arrival of a red panda who has been born there while it's been closed to visitors through the pandemic.
Keepers have named her Emma and she's the first offspring of dad Germaine who is 9-years-old and mum Zou who is 10-years-old.
Emma was born on Monday 15 June, and is still in a nest box. Staff caring for her say she is about half the size of an adult red panda now but still relies on her mother's milk.
The species is found in the eastern parts of the Himalayas and in south west China and is listed as Endangered in the wild.
Their numbers are declining due to poaching for fur and pet trades, competition from domestic livestock and loss and fragmentation of habitat through deforestation.
