Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China’s Sichuan Province

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China’s Sichuan Province released videos, showing one panda drooling as it rests its head in the fork of a tree, another clutching a slice of pumpkin in both paws, and a third taking careful bites while lounging behind a log.

The videos were filmed on separate days in September and October at the base’s No. 1 Giant Panda Villa and Sunshine Delivery House. The Chengdu base is a world-renowned center for ex situ conservation, scientific research and breeding, public education and ecotourism, focusing on the protection of giant pandas, red pandas and other threatened wildlife native to China.
