Exmoor zoo red panda cubs named

The red panda cubs were born at the zoo in June

Two red panda cubs, born at Exmoor Zoo, have been named Amber and Pumpkin

The names were selected by staff at the zoo from a long list of suggestions by BBC Radio Devon listeners - many with an autumnal theme.

Female twins Amber and Pumpkin were born in June to parents Shifumi and Pan, both former residents of Bristol Zoo.

Exmoor zookeepers said they are now trying to get the cubs to respond to their names.

The chosen names were revealed on John Acres' breakfast show and included many seasonal suggestions such as conker and chestnut.

Zookeeper Evie Madden said visitors will now get a chance to see Amber and Pumpkin in person.

"They're usually around between 10am when we open and 11am when they get their food.

"Then they'll nap most of the day, then they come out again at about 3pm and start playing," she said.

A spokesperson for Exmoor Zoo confirmed the cubs would be kept at the zoo with their parents.
