Baby Panda Escapes!—Almost [Watch]

Is there anything cuter than baby pandas? This video, from the Chengdu Panda Base, is strong evidence that there is not.

In our January|February issue, we told how 10 lucky alumni travelers got to cuddle with baby pandas at the base on a Flying Longhorns trip to China and Tibet.

We're guessing none of them held the furry star of this "aww"-inducing video, because he doesn't seem like the type to just hang around in a crib all day.

Located in southwest China, the base is a world-class research center working to protect the endangered species. Only about 1,600 giant pandas remain in the world.
