Footage from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China's Sichuan Province showed a panda cub frolicking mischievously on its mother's back.
Captured at the research base's No.1 Giant Panda Villa, the clip shows the panda cub slowly stepping on its mother's back and then clinging to it as a fluffy and comfortable nest.
The Chengdu base is a world-renowned facility for ex-situ conservation, scientific research and breeding, public education, and eco-tourism. It is globally recognized for protecting and breeding endangered Chinese wildlife species such as giant pandas and red pandas.
