The 15 black and white cubs (some of which are pictured inset) have been hand-reared at the Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, a centre which is aiming to reintroduce pandas back into the wild. And today, the little pandas, including six pairs of twins, looked the picture of good health today as they rolled around and cuddled up to one another (main picture) in front of besotted visitors.

The species is listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union's 'red list' of threatened species. They are extremely rare as female pandas are only ready to accept a male and mate for around two to three days a year.
