Two red panda cubs given Manx names

Two endangered red panda cubs born at the Wildlife Park have been given Manx names.

The pair are the first to be born on the Isle of Man as part of a European breeding programme.

The mammals, one female and the other male, were fathered by Kush, who was recaptured in January after escaping from his enclosure for a second time.

The new borns have been named "Millish” and “Jinshar”  which is Manx for “sweet” and “ginger”.

Today, on #InternationalRedPandaDay our cubs have been named “Millish” and “Jinshar” (Manx for “sweet” and “ginger”)
