The female cub is the third for mom and dad and is part of the Red Panda Species Survival Plan. The zoo says the plan helps maintain genetic diversity within red panda populations in accredited zoos.
A zoo spokesperson said the unnamed cub was born on June 12 in an off-exhibit area, in a secluded and quiet nest box with keepers monitoring the area with special cameras.
Red pandas are also attentive mothers in the wild, keeping the cubs hidden in a nest for the first two to three months, according to the zoo. The zoo said the cub will be with mom for the first year, following her around the habitat and learning how to climb.
