Quadruplet red panda cubs have been born in the Denver Zoo. The
three boys and one girl are only the fifth group of quadruplets
born in the United States. Their parents, Sophia and He-Ping,
were matched up from different zoos in an effort to maintain
healthy and genetically diverse populations. They gave birth to
a set of twins last year. Red pandas are listed as endangered
species, with only 2500 in the wild. They are found in the
Himalayas and feed mainly on bamboo. They are at risk because of
hunting and habitat destruction. For more information and to
