Two delightful videos recently released by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province showcased heartwarming moments of giant panda cubs spending quality time with their moms.
The first video, filmed at the Shenshuping giant panda base in Wolong National Nature Reserve, shows the antics of the twin cubs, big brother Can Yang and little sister Qing Yang, as they engage in a playful wrestling match.
However, when their mother noticed the mischievous play, she immediately intervened, scooping them apart and sending them tumbling to the sides.
The second video, captured at the Dujiangyan base, shows panda twins Zi Su and Zi Lin munching on bamboo shoots alongside their mom, Su Lin. The family enjoyed their meal together in a cute and harmonious way.
Can Yang and Qing Yang were born at the CCRCGP on Sept 10, 2024, while Zi Su and Zi Lin were born on July 4 and July 5, 2023, respectively.
The CCRCGP is a world-renowned center for the ex-situ conservation of giant pandas. It also serves as a hub for scientific research, public education and eco-tourism. The institution is internationally recognized for its efforts to protect and breed giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wildlife species native to China.
The center has also established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges, involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, 39 domestic animal breeding institutions, and more than 10 scientific research institutes.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is ready to completely withdraw from the governmental scene in the Gaza Strip and engage in a positive and constructive manner with the second phase of the plan to end the war in the enclave, said Hamas political bureau member Basem Naim on Friday. In a statement, Naim said that the ceasefire deal became an international plan after being adopted by the United Nations Security Council. However, it is now facing obstacles.
He accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of reneging on his commitments and escalating the situation, in an attempt to return to war and save his political career. Pointing out that Israeli strikes have caused hundreds of casualties since the announcement of the ceasefire, the Hamas official said the escalation cannot occur without cover or green light from the United States. He said Hamas has committed to all its obligations under the ceasefire agreement, as attested by the mediators and the U.S., adding that it is ready for the second phase of the agreement.
He emphasized the Movement's commitment to the establishment of a fully empowered Palestinian body to administer Gaza, and its complete withdrawal from the governmental scene.
Naim warned that the situation will not be sustainable if the continued escalation of Israeli military operations and the persistence of the catastrophic humanitarian situation remain unaddressed, adding that the circle of fire may expand, which is what Netanyahu aspires to.
Since a ceasefire took effect on Oct 10, 2025, Gaza's death toll has risen to 439 with 1,223 injuries, according to local health authorities on Friday. Rescue teams have recovered 688 bodies during that period. In the broader conflict, at least 71,409 Palestinians have been killed and 171,304 wounded since Israel's military campaign in Gaza began in October 2023.
