Baby panda cubs on show in China

Just when you're waiting for a panda cub, fourteen come along at once!




Just watch these cute cubs! 
They're true teddies,aren't they? 
Who wouldn't like to hold one?


These adorable baby pandas were shown off for the first time at the Chengdu Giant Panda centre in China on Monday.
There are fewer than 2,000 pandas left in the wild and the Chengdu centre works to protect the species.
The 14 cubs were artificially bred in the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base in south-west China's Sichuan province.
Born between July and September this year, they are currently being raised in two delivery rooms at the base.
The eldest, Meng Meng, is four times heavier than the youngest, Ya Yi.
In the UK, they're're still waiting to see whether Tian Tian is going to have cubs too.
