Red Panda Cubs on the Prowl


YouTube Link

This wonderful footage features two red panda cubs, one male and one female, who were born and reside at the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, New York. A subspecies known as Stayan's Red Panda, the pair is native to the Eastern region of the Himalayas.

Births of this adorable species, enabled by a breeding program, are greatly welcomed due to being listed as endangered by the International Union of Conservation of Nature. Their endangered status is due to habitat loss caused by deforestation. Tragically, the population of the species has declined by 50 percent over the last 18 years. Via Zooborns
