Amusing scenes of wild macaques diving and splashing in a pond have been recorded in southwest China's Yunnan Province.
The footage, retrieved from infrared cameras by staff at the Yuanjiang National Nature Reserve, shows one macaque leaping from treetops into the water before being joined by several troop members, creating dramatic splashes as they played together.
The lively scenes highlight the importance of booming conservation programs in Yunnan, where protected reserves are helping wildlife thrive.

China will make an objective and impartial final ruling over an anti-dumping probe in canola seed imports from Canada, the Ministry of Commerce said at a regular press briefing on Thursday.
The investigation, launched on Sept 9, 2024, has been extended to March 9, 2026 due to the complexity of the case, according to He Yadong, spokesman for the Ministry.
"During Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China this January, both sides reached specific arrangements for properly resolving economic and trade issues in areas such as electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products, canola seeds, and agricultural and aquatic products. Canada will make positive adjustments to its unilateral measures targeting Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products. In response, China will adjust its anti-discrimination measures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations," He said.
"Given the complexity of the case, the anti-dumping investigation in Canadian canola imports has been extended to March 9, 2026. The Ministry of Commerce will issue an arbitration notice prior to this date. Within the framework of relevant regulations, the Ministry of Commerce will fully consider Canada's reasonable claims and make an objective and fair final ruling based on facts and evidence," he said.
