National Geographic News has the video footage: LinkThanks Marilyn!

    As much as I loved reading about this when the story came out…it was reported a couple of days ago that the baby red panda has died… Tsk tsk, bad reporting.

    Jesus Christ! You could have warned us that the baby panda died

    What looks like a sweet, heartwarming story is actually qiute tragic and upseting

    Can you change the title/post so that other readers don’t walk into the same trap I did?
