In pictures: Giant panda cubs born in China

A special centre in Chengdu in China is breeding giant pandas to one day release into the wild. Until then, these ones can relax in their cot!

This is a really tiny cub. It is much younger than the other ones and must stay in an incubator until it is a bit stronger.

Pandas are an endangered species so the work they do at the centre is very important. This one looks like it's waving 'hello'!

These two cubs are being washed and looked after by one of the workers. It's important the babies are kept clean and healthy.

The workers take a well earned break as the baby pandas take a well earned, er...sleep!

It's feeding time! They must learn to wait their turn - no matter how hungry they are!

This is A Bao, he lives in a different breeding centre to the other cubs. His home is in the Shanxi province of China. He is only one month old, but doesn't seem camera shy at all!

And here is A Bao having a cuddle with his mother Yalaoda.
