Just realised that the sire of these two cubs has not yet been confirmed in this thread. Kyana and Keisho’s sire is Pabu. Pabu and Daiyu were of course not intended to be bred together as they’re father and daughter.
That’s correct. Pabu was on a male contraceptive which failed, leading to him breeding with his daughter.
If there’s intentions of breeding with a female in the future, there’s a reluctance to place the female on contraception; but separation during breeding season (June-August) remains an alternative, which many zoos do.
Do you know if 1.0 Pasang (2005) has passed?
There's been no update from the zoo - but he would be twenty years old this year, and Zeya's transfer seems to indicate so ie. space opened up for her acquisition.
Would be good to get confirmation as he hasn't appeared on Currumbin's socials for a while now.
1.0 Sombaar has died at Perth- reported on their FB page.
Taronga's 1.1 sibling pair, Keisho and Khyana, have been transferred to Oakvale Wildlife Park. These are the facility's first red pandas - reported on their FB page.

Cool… does anyone know where they came from? I wonder if they will breed? Does this mean they phased out tree kangaroos?

They came from Taronga. They are a sibling pair so presumably will not breed.

Furthermore, they’re inbred (father/daughter mating).
I’m aware of at least one such mating in the past, which was 1.1 cubs born to Maya at Auckland Zoo in 1998 (sired by her father Mario). Both cubs were designated non-breeding.
0.1 Maiya (b. 2016 at Taronga) from Perth has been transferred to Adelaide to be paired with 1.0 Ravi (b. 2015 at Adelaide). This leaves Perth Zoo without red panda.
A full update of the regional population is coming in January 2026.
