A dozen of newborn baby pandas in China made their group debut last week.
The 12 adorable cubs, between one and four months old, were introduced to the public during a special event at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in Sichuan Province on Friday.
The breeding centre said it wanted to present a 'special concert' brought by the pandas. Staff put the tiny animals on two staves drawn on the stage for them to crawl on.

Are you looking at me? The tiny animals were expected to crawl on two staves drawn on the stage during the special event
Bear with me: The baby pandas were between one and four months old and were being taken care of at the panda nurseries
Precious: Most cubs are born between May and September because pandas only mate in spring during a short period of time
Heart-melting pictures and footage show the restless cubs nudging each other and trying to climb onto each other as they were being showcased on the stage.
The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base has one of the largest collection of captive-bred pandas in the world. It has bred 195 pandas, considered by China as a national treasure.
A total of 14 cubs including five sets of twins were born this year, and 13 of them have survived. Among them 12 were born in Chengdu between May 20 and August 4 and were showcased on Friday. The other cub was born in Japan to a panda mother on loan to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.
The group debut was held in the centre's two panda nurseries where they were being looked after. Seven cubs were presented in the Sun Nursery and five were displayed in the Moon Nursery.
Chen Bo, a keeper at the Sun Nursery, said the oldest panda cub weighed about six kilograms (13 pounds) and measured 40cm (15.7 inches) long while the youngest cub was just one kilograms (two pounds) and 20cm (7.9 inches) long.

According to the centres, all baby pandas born in the day time are delivered and nursed in the Sun Nursery while those born in the night time are taken care of by the Moon Nursery.
The campaign was launched in June and would cover all areas from tourism to scientific research.
WHY ARE PANDA CUBS SO PRECIOUS?

It's difficult for a female panda to get pregnant due to a few reasons.
Among all female pandas, only 20 per cent or so are fertile, and the other 80 per cent have trouble forming healthy eggs, according to Chen Yucun, a panda expert at China's Strait Panda World in Fuzhou.
In addition, a female panda is only on heat once a year for about 48 hours, making it hard for keepers to arrange mating or artificial insemination.
Lastly, its extremely rare to find male pandas which are capable of natural mating.
Zhang Guiquan, an expert from the China Conservation and Research Centre, told Shanghai Daily last year they account for less than five per cent of the whole male panda population.
The city has launched a new subway train and a new air route inspired by the adorable animal.
The so-called 'Panda Express' train has panda-inspired seat panels and handles as well as pictures of the bears on the wall.
On the other hand, passengers on the daily 'Panda Route' are transported by an Airbus A350 sporting cartoon livery of eight pandas and greeted by air hostesses donning panda-inspired uniforms. They are even treated with food resembling the image of the lovely bears on the flight operated by Sichuan Airlines.

The breeding centre said it...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
