After the photo shoot, the keepers didn't rush to take the panda cubs back inside. Instead, they left them out to play with Hah'Er. The cubs were developing quickly and were very healthy; it was time for them to see a bit of the outside world.
A whole swarm of little black and white buns swarmed around Hah'Er, the big black and white bun. Hah'Er sat on the ground with a cub on his shoulders, one clinging to his chest, another tugging on his arm, and two more on his legs. He was surrounded by a whole pile of them. Meanwhile, Maphario held fast to his prime real estate in Hah'Er's chest pocket, refusing to yield his spot to anyone.
Poor Hah'Er was utterly overwhelmed by these little rascals. He scratched his head, not knowing what to do. He could only sit there looking dazed, letting the cubs climb all over him as they had the time of their lives.
