A roomful of baby panda bears
At first look, you think theyre stuffed. I mean, how often do you see 16 live baby pandas together? Heres your chance
The Sichuan Wolong Panda Protection and Breeding Center in southwest China has had a breeding boom. Sixteen pandas including five sets of twins have been born since July, 2006.
The cubs are weighed and measured every five days. The heaviest cubs weighs a bit over 24 pounds, while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds. The pandas are due to stop suckling this month. Around that same time, the cubs will start to learn to walk. Once weaned, the panda cubs will attend panda kindergarten.
The zoo expects even more cubs soon, since 38 giant pandas were artificially impregnated.
Do they taste more like dog or pork?
bump!
