The new panda cubs born this year, including one single cub and a pair of twins, are growing healthily in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The single cub was born to giant panda En En at the Shenshuping base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in Sichuan on June 4. The twin cubs were delivered by a panda named Qian Qian at the Ya'an base of CCRCGP on June 10.
Nurtured by their panda mothers and meticulously cared for by professional keepers, the cubs have developed thick, distinct black-and-white fur, with irresistibly fluffy and endearing looks.

Pereira in western Colombia has been hit by severe disruptions of water, electricity and communications since the 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit the country on Monday.
After the earthquake, public services were cut or interrupted in several parts of Pereira. While essential services are gradually being restored after emergency repairs, residents in some of the hardest-hit communities still cannot meet their basic daily needs.
"We are without gas, without water, without electricity. Services have been restored in some areas, but it has been very difficult. Our city has suffered greatly, and it is very painful. It's very difficult," said a local resident.
Authorities said they are actively coordinating efforts to restore government functions and public services as soon as possible.
"We have been working to coordinate all the necessary support to make sure that all departments can function," said an infrastructure official.
On Wednesday, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said that the death toll from the earthquake has risen to 265, with 3,494 people injured and 496 still missing.
The president said more than 53,000 people had been affected by the disaster.
