Cat adopts Red Panda

2008-Jul-15

A pair of red pandas were born in Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. A first it seemed that the mother was nursing them but later they found the cubs abandoned. At the zoo there was a cat who had just given birth to a litter of kittens, so the zoos officials decided to see if the mother cat would take the red pandas. Unfortunately one of the pandas died, but the mother cat accepted the other cub.
