This video reveals the life of a giant panda from the second it is born. And not just any panda..... these are the world's only surviving panda triplets!
In 2014, giant panda Juxiao surprised and delighted panda lovers everywhere when she gave birth to the the triplets at Chimelong Safari Park in Guangdong province, China.
17,000 people visit to see the pandas every year.
Fast-forward 2 years and Meng Meng, Shuai Shuai and Ku Ku are celebrating their 2nd birthday. From birth to today, it’s all captured on camera.
Meng Meng, the oldest and only female, is the quiet one and the chubbiest as she is the least active. Next comes Shuai Shuai who’s a lot more mischievous and loves to wrestle with his siblings.
Ku Ku is more chilled, but him and Shuai Shuai keep each other trim through lots of play fighting.
Why are these pandas such a big deal?
Firstly, there are only 1800 pandas left in the wild. Panda breeder Chen Shu Qing explains the difficulties they face with mating and how she helped keep the triplets alive in their early days.
Secondly, in the wild, a mother can only raise one cub, meaning that only 2 of the 3 cubs would have survived to adulthood.
Aren't they just adorable.

When the mom lies down after a delivery for some rest the third panda pops out and the mom is like “what the hell where did you come from ! “

Panda moms are so big compared to their newborns. It is so amazing how gently they handle their cubs.
-
It blows my mind how small these babies are, not what I expected at all
-
The triplets are named Meng Meng (“Cute”), Shuai Shuai (“Handsome”) and Ku Ku (“Cool”)

When she put it in her mouth i thought she bit her but i was so terrified then the thing said the pandas keep it in there mouth to be warm i was so happy omg

I thought panda babies should be big. but they are so little.

The panda breeder looks like a proud mom herself. Her smiles are full of 💕 love, she’s so lucky to have the triplets. I think pandas are the cutest babies, they are so lovely and cuddly. They’re fun to watch as the get older and play. They’re wonderful and beautiful.

The Chinese are doing a stellar job in bringing the pandas back. However, creating enough wild space/land for these pandas is a problem. The forests are being cut back further and further. There are areas set aside, but they're very far apart from each other. Inbreeding in the wild populations is a very real problem. However, I have faith that solutions will be forthcoming. The pandas are a symbol for the Chinese, and are much loved by the Chinese and the entire world. I truly hope we come up with solutions to our ecological problems and protect our wild spaces and the animals that live in them.

I love the smile on the lady's face while gushing about her pandas and their survival story

“we dont appreciate things until we lose them”
-
They were on another level of adorableness
-
What I find so incredible is how energetic and robust ALL 3 cubs are immediately after birth, squirming and thrashing around. That must have been an incredible relief for both Mama and the keepers.

They are so cute when they start getting the panda colors
