Panda cubs: Wish you a lucky year of the rat!
WOLONG, Jan. 18, 2019 (XINHUA) -- Giant panda cubs in Sichuan made public appearance as the Chinese new year approached.
Those panda cubs were born last year at Shenshuping base of China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas in Wolong National Nature Reserve, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
In 2019, a total of 32 panda cubs, 17 male and 15 female, were born and survived in the Shenshuping breeding base, bringing the total number of captive pandas to 312.
In a festively decorated area of the base, the cubs, each held by their own keeper, are pictured in the atmosphere of the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year.
