Panda Brood

I have come to loathe pandas; a species that seems intent on becoming extinct. Nevertheless, for your amusement, I am including these pictures from the Sichuan Wolong Panda Protection and Breeding Center where 16 pandas conceived through artificial insemination (need I say more about this species wanting to die out?) have been born with another 22 on the way.

The brood includes five sets of twins. The cubs are weighed and measured every five days. The heaviest tips the scale at just over 24 pounds, while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds.
