A silly panda cub, covered all over in mud following a messy playtime, has been captured on camera in a newly-released video footage taken at Wolong Shenshuping base in southwest China's Sichuan province.
The cub, named Fei Hong, was trying her best to climb over a lying trunk, but the task proved too tricky for the youngster.
Fei Hong was born to her mother Shen Bin on Sept 2, 2024, at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP), a world-leading institution, a world-leading institution for the breeding and conservation of giant pandas.
A total of 13 giant panda cubs, including Fei Hong, were born at the bases of CCRCGP last year.
The center has established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges involving 18 zoos in 16 countries and regions, as well as 39 domestic animal breeding institutions and more than 10 research institutes.

Scenic areas in China have rolled out special nighttime programs to attract tourists and boost consumption.
At Jiayu Pass in northwest China's Gansu Province, the starting point of a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) section of the Great Wall, a performance featuring historical tales and rounds of Chinese classical dances is put up with the assistance of advanced visual effects technology.
For over 600 years, the pass safeguarded diplomats, merchants, and other travelers along the Silk Road. Today, the ancient and once battle-scarred fortress stands as a thriving symbol of civilization.
A nearby scenic spot, which opened this month, also attracts a great number of visitors with various interactive activities.
"There are many traditional folk games, and my friends and I all took part in them. It was truly a rewarding day, with an amazing immersive experience. It's absolutely wonderful," said Zhao Tiantian, a tourist.
In Danjiangkou City of central China's Hubei Province, scenic areas hold concerts and fish lantern parade to treat tourists.
Tourists could also watch performances in vessels while they enjoy a nighttime travel on the Hanjiang River, a major waterway in the city and tributary of the Yangtze River.
