The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, has officially begun. Despite it being the year of the snake, China kicked off its celebrations with bears.
More than two dozen panda cubs, all born in 2024, made their debut to the world as part of a Chinese New Year celebration.

Caretakers put dragon fruit on the cubs’ feet so they could leave a paw print on a special new year’s backdrop as they gathered for fun and photos with their fuzzy friends.
Thirteen of the cubs are from the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. The other 12 are from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
