Wild giant pandas spotted in forest farm

Xinhua,January 31, 2018 Adjust font size:

CHENGDU, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Two adult wild pandas have been caught on camera in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Infrared cameras installed at a national forest farm in Tianquan County recorded the pandas walking. This was the fourth time that wild pandas have been recorded in the area.

The forest farm is up to 3,743 meters above sea level, with wide areas of bamboo trees and other plantation, an ideal place for giant pandas.

Sichuan has the largest population of giant pandas in China. At the end of 2015, it had 1,387 wild pandas and 364 captive ones, accounting for 74 percent and 86 percent of the country's total, respectively. Enditem
