Photo by @amivitale. Baby pandas explore their surroundings at Chengdu Panda Base in Sichuan Province, China. With their mothers busy eating 13-16 hours a day, panda cubs learn to avoid predators by heading to the safest place they can find, the tops of trees.

Habitat loss and reliance on bamboo brought pandas to the brink of extinction, but years of research have helped scientists crack the code to breeding pandas in captivity, and increasing efforts to preserve pandas’ habitat may help ensure their future. With an adult population estimated at more than 1,864 wild pandas and 500 captive pandas, they have been upgraded from endangered to threatened.
