Panda Bear cubs

Blogging about teen mom domestic violence, celebrity infidelity, Lindsay Lohan and reality television can sometimes make you forget that the world also offers…

BABY PANDAS!

So I thought I might take a moment to remind myself and our readers that the world ain’t all bad and there are cute things besides celebrity children, YouTube kittens and Justin Bieber – not that there’s anything wrong with any of those!

Baby pandas from the Madrid Zoo & Aquarium

These twin panda cubs were born at the Madrid Zoo & Aquarium September 7, 2010 and were presented to the media today. Reuters would have us believe the adorable duo were conceived through artificial insemination in a joint effort by Spain’s National Research council and scientists from China, but I have a different theory! Here is visual evidence of what I think really happened:

Is there anything Angelina Jolie can’t do?!?

I don’t believe the little bears have names yet so I thought I might offer up some celebrity blogger inspired suggestions for the folks at the Madrid Zoo & Aquarium. I don’t know the gender of the panda cubs, so I’ll toss out one male and one female moniker: Panda Seyfried and Peter Panda!

Less blogging, more AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Weighing at about 1 kilo each, the cubs are the first of their species to be born in Spain since 1982 and only the third litter to be born in Europe, according to Chinese veterinarian Yuan Bo, who travelled from Beijing to assist the birth and first months of the new-borns.
