Are you red-y for some good news? On June 17, red panda parents ‘Udaya’ and ‘Linus’ welcomed their second litter of cubs – a set of twins!
These youngsters bring our resident red panda pack to six – joining their lively one-year-old siblings ‘Sundari’ and ‘Ravi.
While we promise red pandas are in fact red in colour, the photos we have are taken from CCTV footage in our nursery of Udaya bonding with her new cubs.
