Pandas - After the Earthquake

via animaltalk.us

Wolong China, Giant Panda Breeding Ground, May 2008
Shaking with fear and desperately clinging to trees for support, many had to be coaxed down to the ground as the quake uprooted forests and sent boulders as 'big as Volkswagens' crashing down from nearby mountains.
The quake reportedly killed five staff members and destroyed or severely damaged all 32 of the reserve's panda houses.
And despite the massive operation some of the 1,600 pandas living in the wild in the Sichuan district remain missing, three of them on the world famous Wolong reserve which was just 20 miles from the epicentre of the quake.
3 pandas are reported missing, and one died when crushed by a tree.

"These three cheetah brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together. 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'".

These extraordinary scenes followed.
