14 Baby Pandas Photographed Together In China: 14 New Additions To Endangered Species [VIDEO]

The Panda Base in China is bursting with cuteness.
14 baby pandas are pictured all snuggled together in a crib, dozing away.
The 14 cubs were all born in the Chengdu Panda Base in the Sichuan Province of China, making their public debut together. The Chengdu base is a nonprofit center, and according to its website "engaged in wildlife research, captive breeding, conservation education and educational tourism."
It is the first time that the fourteen babies were shown together in one photo, having been separately raised in two different delivery rooms.
The 14 baby pandas are a new addition to the base's slow but steadily gaining population of 128 pandas, all of which are bred within the base, and not forcibly taken from the wild. Giant pandas are native to China, eating only bamboo despite being classified as a carnivore (due to its having the digestive system of a carnivore).
It is not the first time that the Chengdu Panda base has released this much amount of cute. Apparently it is done as frequently as twice a year, after baby pandas are old enough to be put together to be photographed. Last November they released a picture of seven baby pandas, four males, and three females, all of them also cuddled close together in a crib.
A television network in China has set a 24-hour online broadcast of the Chengdu giant pandas. They could now be seen online, milling around doing what they do best: eat bamboo. And be cute. Over 15 million viewers flocked over to watch the cuteness unfold on its June test run. 28 hi definition cameras are installed in the five gardens of the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center, monitoring the movements of these giant fluffballs all day long.
