Panda Baby-Boom! 4 Cubs Born Within 14 Hours

Baby Panda born in China photo

Everybody knows that Giant Pandas are endangered and that they are -- to say the least -- not very prolific when it comes to reproduction. So it is a very good news indeed to learn that four cubs were born in the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Centre, southwest Sichuan province, in China.

There are three mothers: Nine-year-old Qiyuan gave birth to a pair of twin female cubs late Saturday, then about an hour later 8 years old Chenggong ("success") gave birth to another cub. And finally, Zhuzhu, also 8 years of age, gave birth on Sunday, all within 14 hours. See here for previous photos of a baby panda growing up (can't get enough of those), and Meet the Pandas at Animal Planet. Via Baby boom at China panda centre

My friend said that the picture was 'ugly'. Ugly Panda she said. Poor little panda baby. I don't think you're ugly at all!

This is just the most surprising thing I have seen this week, thanks! I'd never have though pandas were born with a pink skin or that they were so tiny. It completely looks like another animal!

Adorable! Thanks lots! x
