Shaking with fear and desperately clinging to trees for support, many had to be coaxed down to the ground as the quake uprooted forests and sent boulders as "big as Volkswagens" crashing down from nearby mountains

The quake reportedly killed five staff members and destroyed or severely damaged all 32 of the reserve's panda houses
A Chinese official said that the first batch of bamboo, apples, and veterinary medicine for the pandas has arrived at the reserve as well as food and the tents urgently needed by the staff
It is estimated that there are fewer than 2,000 pandas left in the wild in China
According to latest available figures, a mini baby boom saw record numbers of pandas bred in captivity last year, mostly by means of artificial insemination
