We recognize simply how deeply heartbreaking it is that panda bears aren’t suitable to be home pets, however these cute young puppies from China provide those of us who adore pandas a glimmer of hope.

The litter of puppies was birthed in the Jiangsu area in Northeastern China. Neither of their moms and dads looks much like panda canines– mother was a regional rural dog and dad was a Pekinese.

Three adorable puppies from the litter appear like pandas and the other 3 have various markings. When they were birthed, their fur was closer to an ash color, later on changing to black and white, so it’s unclear whether their markings will certainly stay this way or whether it’s simply a panda cub look-alike phase.

Proprietor Shaojun Shi rejected skeptics that claimed that he might’ve just dyed the cute panda pups’ fur, saying, “I believe that if I would certainly tried to do that, it would not have turned out this good.” The owners have actually allegedly been flooded with deals for the tiny puppies, however say they won’t sell them yet because they’re too young.

Pandas are as unusual as they are not just because they are endangered, yet because the Chinese government has a monopoly on them. Pandas are preferable and only located in China, so China has used them as a diplomatic device, loaning them to governments that they wish to form closer relationships with. They insist, of course, that any cubs birthed overseas still belong to China.
