No, I understand that he died in November 2016 at Curraghs.

You're in New Zealand?No offence taken, not on that point anyway- and greetings from New Zealand...
Fota - they did a swap with Longleat in 2019. The twin female cubs that were born at Longleat in 2018 (sorry I can't remember their names) went over to Fota in exchange for Lionel and Koda. I believe they are still there unless a recent move/s has happened ? The swap was featured on Animal Park
Woburn - I *think* Sanka came from Hungary (possibly Sosto?) but I'm going to double check that.
Edit: Sosto Zoo did have twin cubs in 2018, but I can't confirm if either of them were Sanka.

Fire up the rumour mill!

My mistake, I see now that I wrote Hamilton- apologies...
See above- spelling error...
That would be Ponya Jeanie and Laxmi. Six total with the breeding pair Bonnie and Grga, and their new cubs Ruby and Rosie born last year. Guess those two will be moving on shortly.
Thanks for the update on Sanka, have put that in my records as a possibility.

Who has had babies recently? I'm sure I saw 2 or 3 reports but can't remember where ... PWP have said their pair did not have babies.
Just remembered, Blackpool was another one, but only a couple of weeks ago.

A kit was born to the pair in Edinburgh on 10th July this year.
Sorry, haven't been following 2021 births or looked at my spreadsheet since earlier this year. I only dip into it when I have some free time. Will try to update in the next few weeks.

I think Safari Zoo have had at least one as well.
They had two cubs sometime in July, don't know if both have survived or the gender yet.
Two cubs born in June.Paignton too
Curraghs Wildlife Park on Isle of Man had two female cubs this year, too, despite their mother having a contraceptive implant - Two endangered red panda cubs born at Curraghs Wildlife Park
Blackpool have announced that their new arrivals were twins, a boy and a girl
We wait over 10 years for a red panda cub… and then two come along at once!
