Cute panda photos: We challenge you not to smile at these gorgeous pictures and silly panda stories
They often top the list of our favourite animals and it is easy to see why when you take a look at our collection of ten of the cutest panda photos ever.

Remember the time when a zoo in China was accused of dyeing chow chow dogs black and white to look like pandas? Then there was the zoo in the Chinese city of Zibo which evicted the foxes from their enclosure so they could replace them with a dog disguised as a panda.
So, to cheer you up, here are the sweetest panda photos we could find - beware cuteness overload ahead.

Humans are the greatest threat to some of the planet’s most loved animal species and pandas are no exception. There are now only around 1,800 pandas left in the world. However, lots of work is going on to protect the remaining creatures in China, As Gengda Wolong Panda Center reminds us: Endangered means we have time, extinction is forever.
