The 18 cubs were born in captivity to 11 mothers between July and September last year – a record for births in the reserve since China began an artificial breeding programme for pandas in the 1960s.

The cubs had been enjoying playtime during a naming ceremony at the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan province. One even took a ride on a blue seesaw.

Afterwards they were taken to a panda kindergarten where they will spend a year learning how to live in a group.
