New red panda cub born at NEW Zoo in Suamico

Suamico - The NEW Zoo in Suamico has welcomed a new red panda cub.

The cub was born on June 7th. Red pandas weigh only about 4 ounces at birth. For the first 18 days, the cub's eyes and ears will be closed.

It will be a couple of months before visitors to the zoo will see the little one outside with its mom and dad.

A cub was also born at the zoo last year. That red panda is now at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio.

Red pandas are endangered. There are only several thousand left in the world, and only about 60 at zoos in North America.

Also at the NEW Zoo in Suamico, all dads get in free for Father's Day on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
