Despite the challenges of raising triplets, the zoo says the cubs are thriving.

“It’s rare for a red panda to raise triplets successfully, but Tián is an experienced and attentive mom,” a zoo spokesperson shared on social media.

“Keepers are able to check in and weigh the cubs as needed because of the great relationship our animal team has built with her! The cubs are healthy and thriving.”

For now, Tián and her cubs are staying out of the public eye, tucked safely behind the scenes in their cozy nest boxes.

The little ones are still growing and developing, with keepers observing them as they begin to learn to climb and occasionally venture out for short periods.

The cubs don’t have names yet, but the zoo plans to introduce them to the public in December.

Visitors can look forward to meeting these precious new additions and watching them play and explore their habitat.

Red pandas are an endangered species, so the birth of these triplets is not only heartwarming but also an important milestone for conservation efforts.
