Not only are they one of my favorite animals to watch on zoo webcams, I can't resist baby animals (even when they're tiny and pink). Watch twin Giant Pandas being born in China – brave mom, Guo Guo, was evacuated from the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve post-earthquake, and now makes her home at a panda base in Ya'an.

Wow, can you believe how little they are?! I had to watch that video twice to check it out closely. These were the first two to be born this year over there and, hopefully a sign of more to come in this breeding program to help the beloved black-and-white creatures.

Hungry, hungry pandas! These giant pandas made the trip from China's Sichuan province on Saturday and are settling into their new home at the Beijing Zoo. There were food and (safe) shelter shortages in their original home of Wolong Giant Panda Reserve post earthquake, but they look like they're getting plenty of that leafy green bamboo now. I love watching them eat – seriously check it out . . . adoro – so see a super cute gallery of these pandas when you read more.

The Scoop: Pandas Fly the Friendly Skies Post-Earthquake

PetSugar — Sat, 24 May 2008 09:00:23 -0700

Last week's horrible earthquake in China caused devastation across the country. The area is home to many pandas, both in the wild and at several zoos and reserves. These black-and-white creatures you see here are chomping on their fave diet of bamboo at the Chengdu Research Base in the Sichuan Province. There are eight giant pandas from the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve – about 20 miles from the epicenter of the deadly quake – calling this their temporary home. Today they'll be flying the friendly skies in a special plane. Destination: Beijing, where the creatures will soon make a new home and be on public display at the Beijing zoo! There are more of these cutie pies when you read more.
