The pandas who call China's Wolong National Park home love nothing more than to enjoy some quality time to let loose and have fun. The reserve, located in the country's Sichuan province, is home to 128 of the 1,600 existing pandas in the world, and provides a safe haven for bears who have been born in captivity or are unable to live in the wild due to injury or becoming lost.
The pandas living in the 500,000-acre Giant Panda Breeding Centre have produced 66 cubs and some of the animals are eventually able to be released back into the wild. Unlike gibbons, scientists believe the population of this endangered species is actually growing.
