Cuteness Gone Wild: Red Pandas Make Their Debut at Lincoln Park Zoo

Save this for a grumpy day: this video will have you smiling no matter what (unless you’re an unapologetic curmudgeon who hates cuteness and furry things). Baby red pandas Clark and Addison venture out of their protective den at Lincoln Park Zoo for the first time with mom Leafa. The cubs were born at the zoo’s Kovler Lion House in June and have been growing behind-the-scenes ever since.

Visit Lincoln Park Zoo’s website to get the story on this red panda family, and be sure to visit them in person. They’ll have access to the outdoor habitat from now on. To learn even more about them visit the zoo at 10am until November 8 for chats by the educators.
