RZSS via SuppliedA female red panda, born at Edinburgh Zoo, has been pictured for the first time.
According to her keepers, the kit, which has yet to be named, is healthy and doing well.
The endangered red panda was born on July 17 and has undergone her first health check by the RZSS veterinary team at just nine weeks old.
The youngster, who zoo staff say will be named shortly, lives with her mother Ginger and her father Bruce.
Visitors will soon have the chance to spot the cub, native to southern Asia, who will be sticking close to her mum and dad.
Wildlife experts class red pandas as endangered, with an estimated 10,000 or fewer left in the wild. They are more genetically similar to racoons than to giant black-and-white pandas.
They are threatened by poachers and the destruction of their habitat due to deforestation.
They are native to the Eastern Himalayas and south-western China.
There are currently five red pandas living at the zoo.
