Want to see how a red panda cub enters the world? Here’s video of female Leafa giving birth to the first of her two cubs in our behind-the-scenes den at the Kovler Lion House. It’s an amazing look at a rarely seen process. | Lincoln Park Zoo

We’re having a baby boom! Red panda Lin gave birth to a healthy cub on June 23. Thanks to the efforts of her care team and CREW scientists, we were able to do ultrasounds throughout her pregnancy and knew when to look for a cub. Mom and baby are bonding in their nest box, but we’ll let you know when they venture out! | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
