Zoo Knoxville's four orphaned red panda cubs are doing well, will soon be on public view

They are being bottle-fed by keepers and are now living together in the zoo's clinic.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — What's cuter than one adorable baby red panda?

FOUR!!

Zoo Knoxville is currently home to four cuddly cubs, all being raised by keepers. They call it peer-rearing when cubs are raised together by humans when their mothers can't take care of them.

One of them was born at Zoo Knoxville, one named Marvin came here from the Idaho Falls Zoo, and the other two are orphans from Cleveland.
