Chinaphotos/getty images 13 PANDA BASE CUBS MAKE DEBUT!
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS PANDA KEEPER (SECOND FROM LEFT IN TOP PHOTO)
A WONDERFUL SURPRISE IN THE LONDON PAPER
“IT’S panda-monium! A whopping 13 giant panda cubs have been introduced to the public for the first time at their home in China.
The cubs were born last year at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province. This is the first time the cubs have been seen in public together after being nursed through their first months by keepers.
Research at the Chengdu Panda Base focuses on the advancement of wildlife conservation in China. While the giant panda is the principal species of interest, the Base also seeks to conserve the South China tiger, the red panda, the golden monkey, and others.
The base currently has 82 pandas in captivity, including the 13 cubs. Click to see more pictures of the cute cubs exploring their home.”

BELOW IS OUR LITTLE METAL TRIBE MAN JIN XIN with heart-shaped eyes!!
How appropriate for his name which means “Heart of Gold”
FROM OUR ADOPTION COORDINATOR CARRIE AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL
Last week the Panda Club sent me these pictures of Long Xin’s twins. They are so cute! You’ll probably have to lighten the second picture a bit before posting on your site. I’m not sure how much information you have on these twins so here is what I know. The cubs were born on July 21, 2008. The first cub is a male; he was 129g at birth. The second cub is a female and was 111.4g at birth. I’ll request an update on the babies but I wanted to get these photos to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care! Carrie
BELOW IS OUR LITTLE WOOD TRIBE GIRL XIAO HUA!!
I cracked up when I saw our sweet “Little Flower” with foliage stuck to her fur
It instantly brought to mind the adorable skunk in the movie Bambi named “Flower”
BELOW IS A LETTER FROM SUZANNE BRADEN AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL WHICH WAS SENT TO ALL THE METAL AND WOOD TRIBE MEMBERS IN DECEMBER WHICH EXPLAINS THE CHANGE IN TWINS
Dear Tribe Members
The Cubs of Guo Guo were adopted for life, which is a large amount; by a Mr. Huang Xiaoming.
Mr. Huang Xiaoming is a Chinese TV actor and signer so I am very pleased he is giving generously to China’s National Treasure.
INFORMATION ABOUT MR. HUANG XIAOMING
However this in no way diminishes the adoptions of the four tribes!
All the cubs of 2008 desperately need to be adopted not just the cubs of Guo Guo
Guo Guo and Long Xin were evacuated from Wolong at the same time and both delivered twins (one male one female) in July
So Long Xin’s twins need you too!!
Thank you so very much, Suzanne and Carrie, for getting this cubbie switch coordinated so quickly. I can’t wait to get to China to see our babies in person!!! They are just adorable!!

Below is an update on Fei Fei’s cub who we have proudly nicknamed “Yan Yan” or Eternal Flame!!!:
“Fei Fei’s cub can walk now. When it wakes up, it will move its body and crawl. When its mother is sitting aside, it tries to crawl to the mother and look for nipples to drink milk. It weighs 4600 g 80 days after its birth and 5800 g on its 100-day birth. It develops well and grows healthily.”
