A recent video captured at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province showed the adorable scene of Yuchen drinking water.
In the video, Yuchen leisurely wanders through her spacious habit before making her way to a small pool. With a deliberate yet clumsy grace, she lowers her head to take a refreshing drink.
Born to mother Mei Mei and father Hua Bang on Aug. 18, 2017, Yuchen represents the ongoing success of China's panda breeding programs.
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.
