Back in December we brought you news of Madrid Zoo's Giant Panda cubs and their transition from climate controlled incubator to custom Panda crib. Courtesy of "Pambassador" Jeroen Jacobs, here's another look at the cubs (named De De and Po) as they explore, wrestle, and in the case of Po, harass their sleepy brother. You can learn more about Zoo Madrid's Panda cubs on Jeroen's blog Giant Panda Zoo. While the cubs were safe and sound and/or trouble-making in their crib, mom, Hua Zuiba, was enjoying some personal time outside. Jeroen is one of six Pambassadors sponsored by China to travel to zoos and help document Giant Panda breeding and care. Best job ever?

    Can you please tell me how I can get in contact with the photographers here? I’m an artist and I would love to use these photos in my work. Thank you…

    They look so much like the raccoons I feed on my back deck. The closeup of the little guy looking through the bars looks exactly like my raccoon mother looking in the back window to beg for catchow for herself and her four babies.
    Raccoons are so adorable, and they’re related to pandas, but people mostly treat them as pests instead of putting them in zoos and turning out in droves to watch them. I wish some of the panda love would rub off on raccoons!
