Pandas in China enjoy special baked goodies

CHENGDU, China

The keepers there started giving the animals special cakes, which they seem to like a lot.

A typical panda diet consists mostly of bamboo, but staff members at this center say the cakes offer some extra nutrients.

The baked treats are made with flour, soybeans, corn and oats.

The cakes are purposefully hung off the end of a long pole, so that the pandas get some extra exercise while they're getting the cakes.
