Fourteen adorable pandas were born at the Chengdu Panda Base in Sichuan Province, China on Monday, according to ABC News.
A photo of the 14 pandas inside one crib went viral. This marked the first time the cubs being raised in two delivery rooms, were put together for one photo at Chengdu, a nonprofit center "engaged in wildlife research, captive breeding, conservation education and educational tourism," according to its website.
The base stole the Internet's hearts in November with a photo similar to the one released Monday, this one featuring seven pandas, four males and three females, all cuddled on a pink sheet in a crib together. Panda lovers can see the fluffy, endangered animals eating, playing, sleeping and, thanks to control rooms built on the base to detect panda action, never missing a moment.
The Chengdu Panda Base is a nonprofit organization founded in 1987 with six pandas rescued from the wild. It's now home to over 80 pandas, making it one of the largest panda centers in the world, according to the website.
The 14 pandas join the base's population of 128 giant pandas, all bred at the base and not taken from the wild. The giant panda, an endangered species, is native to China. According to Xinhua, China's state-run media agency, the site, iPanda.com, attracted over 15,000 viewers on its test run alone beginning in June.
The footage for iPanda.com comes from 28 high-definition cameras set up in five gardens throughout the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center, according to China Television Network (CNTV). The network CNTV launched an around-the-clock online broadcast last month of giant pandas at Chengdu doing what they do best, be adorable.
