Panda cubs might be one of the cutest things I might have EVER seen and this year the world has welcomed fourteen new little ones!
Tuesday all the little ones were presented to the public at the research base in Chengdu, capital of China's Sichuan province. All of them were in a large crib laying on a whit blanket. They were also surrounded by researchers taking care of their every need. The research center has conceived over 100 pandas which is amazing considering how hard it to do that.
There are many reasons why this is, but mostly because their mating season only lasts for 36 hours! Not only that but it is very hard to see if the fruits of the keepers labor has worked at all, this is because it takes two months to find out if the soon to be mommy is pregnant.
Right now there are only 1,600 of them felt in the wild. So to think that we are so close to bringing them back is really exciting!
AAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
