Two rare baby red pandas born at Toronto Zoo

The baby pandas were born on Thursday after their mother, Sakura, delivered them in a nest box in the red panda house at the zoo.

Red pandas are an endangered species native to southwestern China and the eastern Himalayas. They are endangered due to illegal hunting and habitat loss. Experts estimate that there are between 2,500 and 10,000 of the animals in the wild. “Safeguards have been put in place to try and minimize risk factors for these new cubs, but it will be some time before their future is secure,” the zoo said. “During this fragile developmental stage, Sakura and her cubs will not be visible in the red panda habitat.
