Wild giant pandas enjoy more comfortable habitats in nature reserve through persistent conservation
Wild giant pandas and other rare wild animals are enjoying more comfortable habitats in nature reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province as the persistent conservation and restoration efforts have paid off to establish a superb ecosystem featuring harmonious co-existence between man, nature and animals.
To testament of the achievements, nature reserve staff in the province on Tuesday found an interesting footage about a wild giant panda scratching itself against a tree from an infrared camera they set up in the Giant Panda National Park.
In the video, the panda smelled the tree at first, then turned around and scratched itself against the tree.
According to an expert, what the panda did was a kind of marking behavior. They usually use their urine to mark their territory or for courtship.
Apart from the giant panda, an infrared camera in the park also captured footages on a black bear. It was foraging alone. With shining fur, the black bear looked very healthy from the video.
In addition, about 40 golden snub-nosed monkeys were found in the park as well.
All these interesting footages indicate that the habitats of wild animals have been well protected in the park.
