In the video, one is quietly sitting in the snow; one slowly walks towards the camera, shyly covering it; and the other lies lazily in the snow playing, very leisurely and adorable.
“These three sites are located at 00, 01, and 04, with altitudes between 2500 and 2800 meters. The distance between the three sites is 2-3 kilometers, so we analyzed that the pandas captured at these three sites are different individuals.” Qianfoshan National Nature Reserve Patrol Monitoring Section Director Hu Gaiyun introduced.


Qianfoshan Natural Reserve has an area of 11083 hectares, as an important part of the Giant Panda National Park. The reserve protects 62 national key protected plants and animals, including 15 national level key protected species such as giant pandas and golden monkeys. The reserve selects 30 key and potential panda activity areas and sets up infrared cameras, and collects camera data every 3-5 months. In 2016, Qianfoshan Natural Reserve first captured video of giant pandas and their mothers in the wild.
