A female red panda has been born at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo and had her first health check from the wildlife conservation charity’s veterinary team.
The kit is now nine-weeks-old and was born on July 17 2024.
The tiny youngster is doing well and will be named shortly.
Visitors will soon have the chance to spot the kit who will be sticking close to mum, Ginger, and dad, Bruce.
There are five red pandas living at the zoo – Bruce, Ginger, Kevyn, and the new kit.
