Red-iculously cute red panda cub born

Bristol Zoo Project have welcomed the pitter patter of tiny paws as a red panda cub has been born.

It was welcomed into the world a month ago by first-time parents Neora and Laya.

The birth is great news for the endangered species.

The super cute cub will spend the next few weeks safely in its nest boxes, but some visitors have been lucky enough to see it being carried around by mum Layla already.

Bristol Zoo Project says it's thought there are only around 2,500 red pandas in the wild but the WWF says the exact numbers are unknown but it's less than 10,000.

Red pandas are usually found in the forests of Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar and China.

But their habitat is in decline and they're killed for food, medicine and their fur.

They're also more active at night than they are in the day - so if you do go and visit them at a zoo this summer, don't be surprised if they're snoozing in the day!
