Description
There's a new resident at the Lisbon zoo. A baby red panda born 6 months ago is taking its first steps, much to the delight of the zoo's staff and the public. This birth is all the more important as the red panda is an endangered species, with only around ten thousand individuals left in the world in an area stretching across the foothills of the Himalayas. In a few days' time, the public in Lisbon will be asked to vote on a name for the panda. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
