Panda Breeding Boom!!
These are just too cute.... & yes, they are definitely real!
A zoo in southwest China has its hands full with the arrival of 16 baby pandas.
The Sichuan Wolong Panda Protection and Breed Center is dealing with the results of a breeding boom
16 pandas have been born since July. The brood includes five sets of twins.
The cubs are weighed and measured every five days by a special panda nurse. The heaviest tips the scale at just over 24 pounds,
while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds. The pandas are due to stop being suckled by their mothers in February,
just about the time they'll start learning to walk. Once weaned, the panda cubs will attend panda kindergarten.
In the meantime, more little ones are expected at the center, since 38 giant pandas were artificially impregnated last spring.

A Den for Naji
Don't forget we're still trying to raise enough money to build "Naji" his own Den at the sanctuary.
Now he's arrived, we need to work fast, so he has a comfortable home as soon as possible.
The cost to build a den for "Naji" is A$6,600.
Donate to Naji's Den here

Please help us to raise money to build "Naji" a den.
A den will give "Naji" what he needs most in the world -
a safe and secure home and a place to run back to whenever he feels threatened or upset. Inside, he'll have friends to console him, food to reassure him and hanging basket beds to dream his worries away, before facing the challenges of another day.
Photo shows Jill Robinson feeding peanuts to "Andrew" in his den, following a romp with his friends in the sanctuary forest!
