Mozilla Team Puts Firefox Cubs on Live Camera
If you've ever been to the zoo and looked for the 'fire foxes' you'll know that they're actually called red pandas and they're endangered. Right now, Mozilla is doing all it can to raise awareness of the red panda's plight.
The foundation has adopted two red panda cubs at Knoxville Zoo and is live streaming the activities of the fuzzy tykes. Also regularly featured are their parents and aunt.
If you think that putting baby red pandas on webcam would be enough to raise awareness and create a marketing storm, you're probably right. Still, Mozilla isn't stopping there. There's also a contest for naming the two cubs, and the foundation promises that if enough people download Firefox 4, the babies will get a new jungle gym.
Cute overload or what?
Check it out for yourself. There are several cameras, so you might have to flick around for a while until you find them. Also, if you really want to see them at their most active, the Mozilla cub carer twitter feed says that they're most active and entertaining after feeding, which is usually around 9 a.m., 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. EST.

I was hoping to see a red fox, but a red panda would do it as well.
Hint that Panda Security and Firefox are joining forces? It would be nice if Panda Cloud was integrated into Mozilla Firefox for more security.
Those cubs are cute!
Stumbled across the site yesturday and watched the cubs for awhile.
Teaser Reel Featuring the two cubs.
Oh...
My...
God...
I thought nothing was cuter than a baby raccoon...(insert digital tear)...

Red foxes are hardly endangered though

Ooops, the WWF will have my head for this...

Will this do?
Sweet! I live in Knoxville. I have to go check this out!
With everyone talking about Redd Foxx, I was hoping they would be streaming "Sandford and Son" episodes.

Annoyingly cute.
there are alot of other endangered species too and i bet until we take concrete steps to keep remaining forests intact the place to see animals would be one of those places firefox had them right now.
cute they are all worth saving too.
Will this do?
Put a live streaming cam on her and they'll raise all the money they need!
side note, how do you add images to comments? regular bb coding?
Why doesn't mozilla have any Facebook or twitter buttons to share it with? This site isn't going to be seen by too many with out that!
they are not fox, or panda like stayed by so many, those are racoons..
wonder about seamonkey....
Haha nice but they were sleeping as I checked. Darn.
Felines are more beautiful, interesting, and cuter than ursoids. Put a baby Lynx or cougar in there and those bears would become watched as much as wall paper.
At this point I had to check who wrote the story and it had better be Jane
Ok nice ,now get back to work and finish this damn FF4 !
Maybe they should be raising awareness of their browser's plight - it stopped growing past 25% for about a year now, I believe.
Whatever plight is happening with the browser can only be aided by this surge in positive PR. It's a win-win as far as I can see, as animal conservation gets some shine too.
Think that's why they were awarded the BAZI Brilliant Badge — http://bit.ly/BrilliantMozilla
