[Panning across globe] Let’s check in on the China Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, where surviving pandas and workers are doing well. 5 workers were lost and 3 pandas remain missing after the quake…
Look at these guys, they’re all falling over themselfs and stuff.
Thanks for the update, Monica

Oh my, so squealishiously cute!!! Five pandas are exponentially cuter than just one!!!
PandaPile!
ten times cuter than a dogpile!
Er…6 pandas…I was so overjoyed by getting first post that I lost my ability to count!
OMG, a panda pile!!!
The first shot is a LOLPanda waiting to happen. I see a “NOM!” over each little panda head.
GAKKKK!! TFC!
Synchronized bamboo krunching? I looove the uniforms!
their Qte runneth over…
Is the lady trying to bunch them together for a photo in the 2nd shot?
The news from China is so bad, it’s nice to hear/see something adorable. It helps offset some of the sadness about the lost workers at this facility (and the pandas).
LOL that first picture looks like school kids having lunch.
“Come on, come on! Your running the food pyramid routine. What are you doing back there, knitting a sock?!”
UPDATE: As of Thursday, only TWO pandas were still AWOL.
Poor babies!!!
I just read a Washington Post article about someone who was in Wolong Reservation at the time of the quake. Lots of villagers and tourists lost. In their article, they commented on the bravery of rescue workers, one of the scenes was workers emerging from the forest with panda after baby panda.
Thank you for posting! I was wondering what happened to them after the horrific earthquake! Happy to see most made it through, sad about the other care givers and bears that perished.
Please keep us picture-posted!
How do they identify these little beasties? They are identical! It seems to me that they are having some good luck with their breeding methods- good heavens. Even these delightful little beings are not immune to harder times- it is bad enough being endangered from mankind, I hope they find their little charges, maybe when they get hungry they’ll beg for food from someone and be returned.
OMG, they look like they’re trying to form a panda bridge to get to the food!
The pandas are so adorable I feel sorry for them.
Yesterday (Friday) on NPR, there was a lengthy report on the Panda sanctuaries, if you peeps are interested….go to http://www.npr.org
Apparently, the huge decline in tourist visits is very worrisome, along with a potential shortage of bamboo.
Quit puuuushin,quit puuushin….
Poor little panda sitting behind the tree stump isn’t part of the cool crowd. She has to eat by herselves. I’ll bet in the second picture she’s the one in front getting squooshed by the popular cheerleader pandas.
LOL Charliewabba or she is the one at the back shoving them all in the trench ala revenge style ; )
These photos make my heart
glad. Is World Wildlife Fund involved? Can we support WWF some way?
Thanks for keeping us informed, Meg…it’s easy to forget about things so far away, and it’s nice to be reminded that people and animals are awesome survivors!
the first pic looks like a school lunch session, i hope that poor panda sitting behind the stump alone wasnt bullied by the other pandas.
The guy on the left of the first photo looks like he’s throwing his hands up in delight, shouting “YAY!”
If you go down to the woods today,
Your sure of a big supprise
If you go down to the woods today you’ll hardly beleive your eyes
For every bear that there every was
will gather there for certain because
Todays the day the pandas have their picnic.
That panda behind the tree just thinks she is sooooo coooool, smoking! Yes, smoking her bamboo! Naughty little panda.
Wait a minute, these pandas are black and white, so are most Rorschalk test cards, hmmmmmmm, could this be a new psychological test developed by the World Wildlife Fund to generate a new revenue stream, and fund their work of saving the pandas? Brilliant!
(Note to self- I have GOT to stop be ‘Administrator of a non-profit’ once in a while.) Back to your regular programming…
Look how they’re even sitting in formation… except that one guy… but that only makes it more cute!
These pandas look like little fat men in suits
News flash, one of the missing pandas was spotted Sunday across the river from the panda center. So far the workers haven’t been able to get across the river to reclaim it. But they say it’s safe. Chinese state media says only one panda remains missing now.
(badger song beat)
Panda panda panda panda panda panda
bamboo bamboo
Somebody please make the video!!!! (If I knew how I would!!!)
I see the panda sitting with her back at the tree stump as the arty, airie fairie type, just Dum-dee-dum-dum-ing her way through her snack, looking at the sunbeam.
Who cares about the cool kids who run in a pack?
Hooray, Hon Glad!
Picnic time for Panda pants!
Those little Panda Pants
Are having a marvelous time today!
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily chew bamboo,

They never have any wants!
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies will take them home to bed
Because their tired little Panda Pants!
oops so sorry –
They’re tired little Panda Pants.
(so embarrased.)
hehehe. love the one behind the tree.
Awwwwww.
Charliewabba: Play and poo. LOL.
The second picture looks like a panda crash.

[Fixed! - Ed.]
