An endangered red panda, born at the Curraghs Wildlife Park, has settled in well at her new home in Birmingham.

Aria, who is two-years-old, was moved to the Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park last month.

She was the first cub born to dad, Kush and mum Sara in 2020.

It is hoped the Manx-born red panda will be soon paired with a mate as part of an international breeding programme.

It's estimated there could be as few as 2,500 red pandas left in the wild.
