Various of wild animals in forests Storyline Infrared cameras in the Giant Panda National Park in southwest China's Sichuan Province captured footage of a wild giant panda mother and her cub roaming in a snowy bamboo forest on Thursday. The footage shows that the two wild giant pandas roaming calmly in the forest at an elevation of about 2,800 meters above sea level in Chongzhou section of the national park. The mother panda occasionally turns back to check on her cub, while the young one follows closely behind. Judging by the body size, experts from the park said the panda cub was probably born in 2025 and is less than one year old. In July 2025, infrared cameras in the park also captured a wild giant panda foraging in the bamboo forest on four separate occasions. Currently, nearly 1,900 giant pandas are living in the wild in China. The Giant Panda National Park protects approximately 1,340 wild giant pandas and also serves as a sanctuary for over 8,000 other rare and sympatric species, including golden snub-nosed monkey, snow leopard, dove tree and Chinese yew. Apart from giant pandas, infrared cameras in Chongzhou section of the park also recorded more than 20 animals under first and second state protection at altitudes ranging from 750 to 2,700 meters from May to mid-December 2025, including Sichuan takin, Asian black bear, Temminck's tragopan and Chinese goral.
