Amongst the millions affected by the disaster are pandas living in 卧龙/Wo4 Long2, a national reserve in Sichuan. Fortunately, all of the pandas survived the quake and are now transferred to a safe location.

I think there's an inexplicable quality about pandas that simply make your heart melt. In a time like this, we find comfort, life and hope in them.

Whoah that's a lot of pandas. Are all pandas that small? Or are these just the baby ones?

Red Pandas are cute as well. Also known as the Fire Fox I believe. :)

I remember looking at pandas, of course they came from China, at the Ueno zoo in Tokyo more than twenty years ago. There was a long line in front of the showcase of pandas. They were really lovely!
