Authorities confirmed Tuesday that captive animals in two of China’s major panda reserves were alive, according to Xinhua, China’s official news agency.

The Wolong Giant Panda Reserve Center in southwest Sichuan province is home to about 86 giant pandas, who were reported safe Tuesday.

Staff and critters at neighboring Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center were also reported safe, according to a spokesperson for the Atlanta Zoo, which has two pandas on loan from the wildlife reserve.

  1. Pandas at the Memphis Zoo? It is a very small one and a bit cramped, so I was shocked when we got them a few years back. Ya Ya and Le le.

    I have never asked them what they think of the August weather.

    Cute pictures of the Pandas, glad they survived

  2. sorry about that but I have seen them hanging out and chewing bamboo. The ones in your picture are a lot more active than their southern couisns.

  3. cute overload also has this infamous sneezing panda video posted on their FP right now.  

  4. pandas are the cutest things on the planet.

    no contest.
