PANDA KINDERGARTEN!
This is for those that haven't seen the 16 baby pandas.
SICHUAN , China -- One zoo in southwest China has its hands full with 16 baby pandas.
The Sichuan Wolong Panda Protection and Breed Center is dealing with the results of a breeding boom where 16 pandas have been born.
The brood includes five sets of twins.
The cubs are weighed and measured every five days (see pics)
The heaviest tips the scale at just over 24 pounds, while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds.
The pandas are due to stop suckling soon - just about the time they'll start learning to walk.
Once weaned, the panda cubs will attend panda kindergarten.
In the meantime, more little ones are expected at the centre since 38 giant pandas were artificially impregnated.
