In Amsterdam's Artis zoo, a newborn red panda was rejected by its mother. It has been accepted as "one of the kittens" by a cat. Really cool picture and video. Check it out.

That is just the cutest thing! I wonder if the panda with think it's a cat because of being brought up by one. lol That is so cute though. I have heard of things like that happening before. The motherly instincts is what makes the mother accept babies that aren't their own.

Yeah there have been many reports on myLot about this and a lot of news coverage... incredible how when you think you have figured out Mother Nature she throws you a curve and things end up completely different than what you would think.
It reminds me of the time when a little boy fell over into a gorilla pit and a mother (female) gorilla protected the boy against the males.... crazy man!
Thanks

Hi estherlou! That is amazing! That cat is a very kind and compassionate animal, a nurturing kind at its best! I have seen it in the news before and heard it from another mylotter too. It is really incredible that you can hear kindness amongst animals. I hope we humans can learn so much from that. haha..
Take care and God Bless!

I saw it on tv and I didn't know that cats could do that. I know cats make good mothers but I don't know to panda cubs too.
