A post on UPI shows pictures of 10 baby animals that have been born in zoos around the world. Three pictures after the break.

Here is another photo of the red panda cub, with its mother:
Wired explains:
Despite their name, red pandas (Ailurus fulgens,
also called “lesser panda,” “bear cat” and “firefox”) are more closely
related to raccoons than to giant pandas. They live in cool bamboo
forests in the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China, in the Himalayas
and in Burma. Fewer than 2,500 red pandas remain in the wild, making
this birth a victory for conservationists worldwide as well as for its
first-timer parents.
