Headline: First-Ever Red Panda Cub's Debut Captured In UK Safari Park's Shared Footage
Caption: A red panda cub has been spotted for the first time at a UK safari park. The cub, born at West Midland Safari Park, is the first to be born at the attraction in its history. Keepers suspected that three-year-old Mei Lin, was due to give birth after seeing her settle into one of her nest boxes mid-June. A few days later, on 16 June, keepers heard tiny squeaks coming from the box and noticed that Mei Lin was grooming something inside. They have since spotted glimpses of a tiny red panda cub and were lucky enough to capture the cub on camera, when Mei Lin moved nest boxes. Although keepers will be watching the cub’s progress at a distance for now, when the cub is around three months old they will perform a health check and will find out what sex it is.
