These are the first publicly available photographs of newborn giant panda triplets born to giant panda Juxiao inside an incubator at the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China.

According to local media, this is the fourth set of giant panda triplets born with the help of artificial insemination procedures in China, and the birth is seen as a miracle due to the low reproduction rate of giant pandas. And nearby in the same park, a giant panda eats in its enclosure, with a facial expression that seems to say, "WUT."

In related news, a panda named Tian Tian at the Edinburgh Zoo is believed to be possibly pregnant.
