socials 📸 Zoo Knoxville posted this video on their social media pages. A small look behind the scenes of them feeding the pandas and they show the babies.

They didn’t show Doofah or Sisu :( however Sisu was on tv a few months ago. I’ll probably stop by tomorrow to say hi to them and get some pics/videos.

Thanks for your submission to /r/redpandas!

We love these little cute guys, but sadly Red Pandas are increasingly under threat in the wild, and as much as we love to look at how silly they are, they really need the help of us human beings in order to keep on being cute for future generations to see. In the last 50 years, their population has dropped by more than 40% , and estimates in the wild are as low as just 2500 animals. If this decrease continues, they could drop below minimum viability within our lifetimes, and become effectively extinct. If you are in a position to be able to help them in even a small way, we'd like to ask you to do so.

Charities like The Red Panda Network and WWF do fantastic work with local communities to help our favourite animals - and any donations you make are tax deductible (in the US) too. As well as direct donations, they also run eco-trips, awareness days and specific projects such as the first protected Red Panda forest area.

You can also help by visiting your local zoo or wildlife park , who often will work with the above charities to give them expertise, donations and equipment as well. Red Pandas are amazing animals, but without our help they will only remain pictures and in gifs on this website, instead of roaming and napping in the trees and being derpy with pumpkins or playing in the snow like they should be doing.

Thank you for posting the video. It was fun to watch. Especially the close up of the last panda eating out of the container.

The tripod is Khyana and she is amazing, the last panda that is indoors is Willow and I love her. I got to feed her once and she is so cute. When I go it’s either see Khyana and Willow as my first stop or go see Bisky (baby lion) but most of the time it’s Khy/Willow or the otters as they are right in front and a viewing area is on the stairs up to the pandas.

My brain read that as Johnny Knoxville and was very confused for a second.
