Cute and Cuddly

When I Saw Why They Gathered All These Innocent Baby Pandas In the Same Place, I Was Stunned!

Sometimes, animals are just so cute and adorable, you just can’t help but think that heaven must be full of them. When I heard there was a real life panda nursery, that was exactly my thought. But when I saw the pictures… oh. my. gosh.

These giant pandas are quite possibly the most precious things to walk the planet, but sadly, they’re endangered. It’s been reported that there are only as few as 1,864 pandas left in the wild. The thought of them ceasing to exist is just too heart breaking to imagine!

Thankfully, China has made it their mission to keep our cuddly friends around. The Chengdu Research Base is a specialized breeding center and nursery that exists to revitalize the dwindling panda population.Panda-17

In this panda “daycare”, every panda cub is special. You see, unlike other animals– it’s incredibly difficult to breed pandas. Females are able to breed for only 2-3 days a year, and they only give birth to one cub every two years. Thankfully, the research group hasn’t given up.

These photos are sure to just make your day. You have to see this!
