Two Red Panda cubs were born in the Himalayan Zoological Park (HZP), Bulbuley near Gangtok, after seven years, an official statement said.

The cubs were born to parents Lucky(I1) and Mirak. This is the pair’s first litter together and marks a significant milestone in the park’s conservation efforts, it said.

A statement issued by the Park Friday said that the birth of the cubs recently is especially heartening as it comes after a difficult period in the Red Panda Conservation programme's history - a seven-year gap in successful births due to challenges like the two outbreaks of canine distemper that nearly decimated the captive red panda population.
