Footage captures giant pandas’ peaceful mealtime in Sichuan

Footage of giant pandas filmed recently at the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province captures them enjoying their meal in tranquil, harmonious scenes.

In the first two clips, male panda Xin Qiao, and in the third, male panda Mao Mao, are seen munching on bamboo with calm, relaxed postures, creating a soothing atmosphere.

Xin Qiao, born in August 2024 at the Shenshuping base of the Wolong National Nature Reserve to mother Mei Mei, shares the spotlight with Mao Mao, who was born in August 2021 at the same reserve to mother Shui Xiu.

The CCRCGP has built the world's largest captive population of pandas and pioneered rewilding research through captive breeding and training. It also runs a global cooperation platform that links 18 zoos in 16 countries and regions with 39 domestic breeding institutions and more than 10 research institutes.
