Scientists are dressing up as panda bears

It gives a whole new meaning to pandering to the kids.

But in this case it's a matter of survival.

Chinese conservationists are dressing up in fluffy panda costumes as they help prepare captive-born cubs to live in the wild.

They are anxious to ensure the endangered animals have as little contact with humans as possible.

So rather than being hand-reared as precious pandas often are, they are being brought up by their mothers in a piece of protected woodland.

But they make sure to slip into their panda suits before venturing anywhere near, as they are anxious that their charges don't become used to seeing humans.
