A heart-warming scene has emerged from the Ya’an Base of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, where a large group of fluffy giant panda cubs were captured enjoying a rare outdoor gathering.

Released on January 1 by the iPanda multimedia platform, the images show the young pandas immersed in carefree play. The cubs can be seen frolicking across soft grass, crawling clumsily and tumbling over one another as they explore their surroundings with curiosity and confidence. Their natural, playful behaviour offers a vivid glimpse into the early development of one of China’s most beloved animals.

The CCRCGP, a leading centre for giant panda conservation and research, works closely with domestic and international partners to support the species’ protection, ensuring that playful, thriving cubs like these continue to brighten the future for giant pandas.
