A pigeon pair of giant pandas -- elder sister Chun Ye and her younger brother Qiu Ye -- were caught in camera footage having lunch together, getting along with each other much like what humans would do.
The footage was taken at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
In the first video clip, Chun Ye kept snatching the bamboo shoots from her brother's paws, while Qiu Ye just put up a token protest, and then simply gave in and wandered off to find a new snack.
The second clip shows the pandas sitting neatly side by side, chewing on long bamboo stalks in perfect harmony.
Chun Ye and Qiu Ye were born in August 2023, and their mother is giant panda Pan Wang.
The CCRCGP is a world-leading institution dedicated to the breeding and conservation of one of China's national treasures, the giant panda. The center has established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, 39 domestic animal breeding institutions, and over 10 scientific research institutes.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) after the alliance failed to join the attacks on Iran, The Telegraph reported on Wednesday.
When asked if he would reconsider America's membership in the alliance after the conflict, he said the question is "beyond reconsideration," adding, "I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger."
Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with NATO for "not being there," saying it was "actually hard to believe."
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Trump would make a decision on the future of NATO given the fact that some U.S. allies refuse to provide support, after the end of U.S. military operations against Iran.
Following Trump's criticism, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is not changing his position on the war.
Multiple European countries have kept their distance from the conflict with Iran. Starmer on Monday said his country will not get dragged into the conflict "whatever the pressure and whoever it's coming from," while Spain on Monday closed its airspace to all flights related to the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.
