Thirty fluffy giant panda cubs born last year are stealing hearts worldwide after their adorable Lunar New Year appearance! 🌸 These furballs from the China Conservation and Research Center and Chengdu Research Base – panda conservation royalty – recently posed with red lanterns and bamboo decorations to welcome the Year of the Horse.
The 2025 cohort of 45 successfully bred cubs marks a major win for cross-institution collaboration. Conservationists credit improved breeding techniques and habitat protection programs for this bamboo-munching baby boom.
While 30 cubs participated in the festive photoshoot, all 45 represent hope for the vulnerable species. The centers’ social media posts featuring the cubs’ clumsy attempts at holding scrolls with blessings like ”Prosperity for All” have already gone viral globally. 🎋
