7/15/2005: Newborn pandas

http://cellar.org/2005/babypandas2.jpg OMG. Lookatem! The official caption: Chinese researchers care for twin newborn giant panda cubs at the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Wolong, southwest China. Giant panda Guo Guo gave birth to the twin cubs July 8. Funny thing is, the very same day, giant panda Mai Xhang gave birth to a single cub at the Washington National Zoo. There they have a panda cam page, but no pics of the little one such as the above. (And I couldn't get the video to load...) |
They're Muppets!

Oh sure, they're cute in an IOTD photo, but let one be sqeaking and crawling around under your covers when you hop into bed, and you're gonna dampen your Jockeys.

I LOVE FRIDAYS
Behold nature in all its glory! These guys are super cute. I'd have never dreamed they would be so tiny. Wonderful images. Thank you, God....uh and yes I appreciate you too, UT. |
They DO look like Muppets! Good call, HM! So...cute in an ugly sort of way!
Does that person holding the little critters, does he/she look like he/she has a case of nail fungus or what? Those nails are gross--should he/she be HOLDING those babies? :apaw: :apaw: |
Oddly, new born pandas use pirate talk to communicate. Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My name is Deuce Loosely, and I am The Panda!
The Panda Song Sifl: No WAY, dude, you're outta here! Panda Dude: I have to sing my tale to the panda! Sifl: You can't sing... you're not a musician...don't let him do this! Panda Dude: This next song is the new first song on our new album. Olly: WHAT?! Panda Dude: This is not a rebel song... This is.. the PANDA! After dark, the pandas stalk, Nightmare creatures, with black hearts. Ravenous teeth that glow in the dark, Feasting on bums that sleep in the park! The pandas are coming! So hide under your beds! The pandas are coming! They'll rip your ass to shreds! (Sifl: get out of the studio Olly: yeah, get out of here, dude Sifl: Hey, Pandaboy Panda Dude: I SHAN'T!) The panda is indeed the most mysterious of all creatures Shrouded in the enigma of his black and white coat What kind of camouflage is this, black and white? Hiding in an Oreo factory? Could be! That's just another chapter in the ominous saga of the panda! The pandas are coming To rip off your head! The pandas are coming On a rampage of the dead! Like the shark, the panda has millions of teeth Which it uses like a hacksaw to cut through bone, candy, and fences The Chinese believe that if you find a discarded panda tooth You have the power to summon Godzilla I'm drunk on panda mystery! The pandas are coming! So hide under your bed! The pandas are coming! They'll rip your ass to shreds! This has been chapter 1 in my ongoing songs about the panda, which shall cease at number 820. You will see me again, Mr. Sifl! Sifl: Just get a clue. Panda Dude: Get a PANDA! |
The zoo site is overloaded but Animal Planet is mirroring the camera.

That is the cutest little hat, they gave one to InchInchInch when he was born, this one looks jsut the same but tinier.
Hard to believe that a big panda would have such miniscule offspring. Could it be possible that the bears give birth and don't realize it? Do the little guys get lost in the sauce? Do the dad pandas roll over on the babies in their sleep? Do they flavor the milk with bamboo? |
On second look it seems to be a miniture receiving blanket. Still cute though.
|
I think I have to confess that after the initial "awwww cute!" reaction, I flashed onto Vin Diesel singing "Do the Peter Panda Dance," which took me to another "awwww cute!" reaction.
|
Damn! They REALLY do look like Muppets. I can just hear Frank Oz screaming:
"Move the mouth you idiots!! Move it's arms!!" :-) |
The mother panda must be sedated otherwise I’m sure she wouldn’t allow the handlers to keep interfering with her babies. Let her be, let her look after her own babies, maybe that’s why there are so few left in the world. :eyebrow:
