The center resides in probably the most appropriate place imaginable, as pandas have been endemic to Chengdu for more than 4,000 years.

It was established in 1987 with the sole aim of increasing the panda population.

The facility uses a combination of natural and artificial insemination methods to breed the pandas. The black and white roly poly bears are notoriously gun shy when it comes to getting down, so the latter method probably gets used a lot.

Super cute naps are definitely part of the center’s official regimen.
The caretakers take unwanted panda advances very seriously.
“Vrooooooooommmmm!”
That feeling you get when you realize it’s always your turn to ride the horsey – because you’re the only one at the park.
“Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!”
