Cuteness Overload: Mama Panda Plays With Her Baby

And the best mom award goes to this adorable panda! Watch her chasing, rolling and cuddling her little cub.

Giant pandas have been considered an endangered species until 2016, when the International Union for Conservation of Nature reclassified them as vulnerable. The population of pandas living in the wild is estimated at about 1,800 individuals. Due to their low birth rate and the destruction of their natural habitats, China's authorities support captive breeding programs to boost the animals' population.
