This is Just a StrangerMaiya. She's a two-month-old red panda cub who recently suffered a neck injury while being carried in her mother's mouth.
While being cared for by Tamara Gillies of Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, Maiya's become quite close with a soft red panda toy, holding on to it tight while feeding and sleeping.
Yes, it's adorable.
"The soft toy gives her something with a familiar scent to snuggle and play with. It's the same colour as a real Red Panda and she clings to it using her claws and teeth as she would do with her mum," Gillies said.
Maiya will remain in the care of keepers for at least another month, but steps are being taken to gradually reintroduce the cub to her parents.
"She's definitely a little survivor," Gillies said. "She's guzzling down her milk formula, she's gaining weight every day and the wound on her neck has almost completely healed." Reportedly, neck injuries of this kind are not uncommon for baby red pandas.
In the meantime, here's some cute pictures. That's what you are here for, right?
