In the quake that jolted Sichuan province, giant pandas have become special "victims".

Although no deaths or injuries of pandas have been reported, the rare species at Bifengxia Panda base, located 50 km away from the epicenter in Longmen county, Ya'an city, were found scared by the devastating quake.

Breeders provided abundant food for the pandas to assure them "nothing is wrong", and for those young cubs who were scared the most, breeders will play with them to ease their tension, said Wang, in charge of animal management of the base.
